In continuation of our series on the Papacy, Justin Hibbard addresses St. Peter’s role as the leader of the Apostles and the early Church. Why does the Catholic Church claim that St. Peter was the first Pope, even though we don’t see such a title in Scripture? Discover the Biblical evidence that supports Jesus giving this authority and the way in which Peter leads the Church after Jesus’ ascension.
