Hi Everyone,

I donāt believe the Catholic Church is totally in error, but I donāt also believe in its Primacy anymore, among the Christian Churches.
I believe that the Universal Church was started by Jesus Christ, needing the faith of at least one person to begin the construction. With each stone / rock added to the construction, the church gets stronger. Peter, granted was the first to confess his faith in Jesus, and thus the beginnings of the Church took place, but Peter and the Apostles were to go out and spread the Word, as equals. We as Christianās, regardless of denomination are a part of that Church, and whilst at least one person confesses faith in Jesus Christ, the Universal Church of Christianity shall standā¦the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
The Bishop of Rome was not instated as top dog until an Emperor with an axe to grind chose the Bishop of Rome over the Bishop of Constantanople.
Gregory 1st refused the title of Pope, but his successor Boniface III didnātā¦in the 7th Century!
Jesus made various references to the fact that no one Apostle was better than the other, which is good enough for me.
Having said that, I have deep respect for the Pope.
This post is not meant to disrespect the Catholic Church in any way; and I am certainly not looking for an arguement. I appreciate my view will not be shared by many, and that is fine by me.
May we all have faith in God and His Word.
Peace and Love
