ArchivedApostolic succession?Aineo wrote The Church can trace its roots right back to the Apostle peter since then there has been 265 popes coming right from St Peter. It can also be seen to be correct from Catholic/Orthodox tradition. Also Orthodox Christians believe in the same Tradition but they interpretate a slight difference concerning the papal primacy of St Peter as the Papal Primacy of Honour (as opposed to jurisdiction which is another thing and infallibility) is not something foreign to Orthodoxy. What Orthodoxy understands as heresy held by Rome is what keeps the Pope from being recognized as such by Orthodoxy. Therefore we both recognize St Peter as the First Leader of the Apostolic church.just that Catholics say Perter had jurisdiction they say greater honor etc... The current Holy Father likes to use the title "Successor to St Peter." The Orthodox have no problem with this title, it is just that they believe all Bishops are Successors to St Peter and the Apostles. We believe he was the Only Bishop rather then they all were Bishops. The Orthodox Church split from the Roman Catholic church in 1054AD Therefore the Catholic Church was First Not the Orthodox Church as you claim Aineo. Peace |
