OneofthebiggestfallaciesoftheRomanCatholicChurchisthattheRomanEmperor
Constantine(thefirstpontiffoftheRomanCatholicChurchwhoassumedwhatCatholicsthought
wasSimonPeter'smantleasthepontiffoftheCatholicChurch)in306ADwhen,infact,Jesuswas
simplyempoweringallmen,throughtheHolySpirit,toforgivetheirfellowmannotofovertsinslike

ItwasSimonPeter'sanswerwhichinitiatedtheresponsebelowwhenhesaid:"ThouarttheChrist,

forthePope,fromConstantinetoFrancisIwhichnonehaveeverpossessed:"Blessedare

.And,Isayalsothis:YouarePeter..."(petra,thestone)."...Anduponthisrock..."(petrosorkephas

whichthecongregationofChristianfaithwasbuiltwasnotSimonPeter(petra)buttheDivinetruth
whichSimonPeterspoke(petros)thustherockuponwhichtheChurchwasbuiltwasJesusChrist.
SimonPeterneverassumedforhimselfanysuperiorleadershiproleovertheApostlesbecausenone
existed.Therewasnopapalascendancyas"keeperofthekeys"fromPetertoanyone.Fromthe
conversionofJames(thehalfbrotherofJesus)whoperpetuallydoubtedtheclaimsofChrist's
disciplesuntilhesawtheresurrectedMessiah,JamesbecametheleaderoftheChristianchurchin
theUpperRoomontheDayofPentecost.AtnotimedidPetereverclaimtobemorethanan
Apostle[1Pe.1:1and2:1],oranythingmorethananelderintheChurch[1Pe.5:1].

inActs14:2615:20whenPaulreturnedfromAttaliaandengagedinadisputewithsomeofthe
