I didn’t know it came out of Whelton, but the original source is Roman Catholic bishops, no?I haven’t posted in some time, but it seems that some things never change. This so-called statistic quoted from Whelton has been brought up over and over again on the Eastern Christianity forum through the years.
Without that Faith, he would just be Simon. He didn’t just graduate and get a new name, then get to profess anything he wanted to.One important thing to note is that those who have used this argument against the papacy have failed to take into consideration is that the ECF’s often spoke of the “rock” as both Peter AND his confession.
The Faith is primary.
Lots of luck…I would suggest that anyone interested do an archive search of the Eastern Christianity forum (I see it is now called Eastern Catholicism) for a more in depth discussion of the issue based on the ECF’s writings.
Why would you suggest that? Did you not know that a completely new forum replaced the old one, and the entire archive has been removed?
