Hi, I uploaded a video titled “3 Lines of Apostolic Succession of the Catholic Church from St. Peter the Apostle”. Pretty much its shows some history about how we can link/trace 3 Catholic Bishops (The Pope who is the Bishop of Rome, The Patriarch of the Melkite Catholic Church and the Patriarch of the Syriac Catholic Church) to St. Peter himself.
Some history:
Peter went first to Antioch (Galatians 2:11) and establishes the See of Antioch. “…the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch” Acts 11:26. The 2nd successor of St. Peter in Antioch, Ignatius of Antioch, used the word “Catholic” referring to the Church around 107 A.D.
The third honorable see, indeed, is that at Antioch, which belonged to the most blessed apostle Peter, where first he dwelt before he came to Rome and where the name Christians was first applied, as to a new people" (Decree of Damasus 3 [A.D. 382]).
-Pope Damasus
Fast forward. Peter goes to Rome (1 Peter 5:13) and becomes the Bishop there for 25 years.
“[In the second] year of the two hundredth and fifth Olympiad [A.D. 42]: The apostle Peter, after he has established the church in Antioch, is sent to Rome, where he remains as a bishop of that city, preaching the gospel for twenty-five years” (The Chronicle [A.D. 303]).
-Eusebius of Caesarea
“Simon Peter…after having been bishop of the church of Antioch and having preached to the Dispersion …pushed on to Rome in the second year of Claudius [A.D. 42] to overthrow Simon Magus, and held the sacerdotal chair there for twenty-five years until the last, that is the fourteenth, year of Nero [68 A.D.]. At his hands he received the crown of martyrdom being nailed to the cross with his head towards the ground and his feet raised on high, asserting that he was unworthy to be crucified in the same manner as his Lord” (Lives of Illustrious Men 1 [A.D. 396]).
-Jerome
The Catholic Church can prove its petrine origins through 3 lines of succession. The most famous, is that from St. Peter in Rome to the present Pope (now Francis). But we do have 2 other lines that go to St. Peter in Antioch. These lines are those of 2 Eastern Catholic Churches, The Melkite and Syriac Catholics. The Patriarchs in those churches (Gregory III Laham and Ignatius Joseph III Yonan respectively), trace their lines to St. Peter as well. For more info, see video:
