Listen Later

Many Christians find it hard to see the papacy in the first-century Church. In this episode, Erick Ybarra addresses the historical and biblical foundations for the papal office. Was Peter truly the first pope? How did early Christians view his authority? And what evidence do we have from Scripture and tradition that connects the leadership of Peter to the role of today’s pope?

Questions Covered:

  • 12:33 – I struggle with not seeing the papacy in the first century. Can you help clarify where we see it?
  • 18:30 – How close have we ever gotten to the pope who was the minimal requirement, a male baptized Catholic?
  • 22:32 – Regarding his debate with Ubi Petrus. Do you have clarification from one of your questions from the debate?
  • 35:29 – How is it ok that we added the filioque to the Nicene creed? Didn’t the Nicene Creed have a clause that not one word could be changed?
  • 42:09 – How do you think the Church balances separating itself from being too political and how it’s done that historically?
  • 48:24 – How closely do we tie our belief in Christ to our belief in the Church? If the pope were to dogmatically declare heresy, would it invalidate the magisterium?
  • 52:06 – What do you think about the passages in First Clement where he says the Holy Spirit is writing/speaking through him? Is this evidence of papal infallibility?
