And you guys have problems with how Catholics use the bible. Just look at your responses. Putting scripture into context. looking at cultural traditions. You guys are sounding more and more Catholic as this thread goes on.

Cool, which Mass do you prefer? Novus Ordo or Tridentine? Or do you prefer Byzantine liturgy? Melkite?But I am Catholic. Don't you think for a moment that you can arrogate that term to yourselves only....
Ya, Rome is a nightmare of pitfalls and oubliettes so the Jesuits can bring people to the correct understanding of Christianity. Good observation.LOL Well, we are Christians, members of the catholic (universal) Church determined to study and show ourselves approved rightly handling the Word and desiring to not fall into the traps of rome and other false teachers/teachings.
Thanks for noticing.

Where is "Peter is the oldest apostle" found in the Scriptures?
Thanks!!!!That's too bad. I'll light a candle for you tomorrow morning.
Cool. If that's what makes you close to the Lord.You didn't answer my question....did I misunderstand your points? Did I misrepresent where you were coming from in the discussion and respond inappropriately?
I don't go to Mass, I see no rigid religious services presented in the Bible that in any way form a foundation to what we see in modern churches. I do get together with brothers and sisters a few times a week for corporate worship, fellowship, study and prayer. But I know how many people are uncomfortable with teh freedom we have in Christ and rush to make new rules and "Traditions" with little or no biblical foundation.
I am a "catholic"
I decided to bring this topic up on the TAW board

do-the-orthodox-believe-the-rcc-focuses-on-peter-too-much
So far they have nothing but good things to say about the RCC.Suuuuper. Let us all know how that works out, mmkay.
Well so far, those are the only 2 I got which is ok as I am sure they just want to keep harmony and not "stir up the pot". Peace.Hmmm, I am surprised that you are getting responses. Usually the Orthodox aren't all that interested in talking about Catholic stuff.
Thanks for that well thought out post.As a relatively well versed Catholic, I'd say no. The RCC does not focus too much on Peter. However, I will contend that many well-meaning people when trying to defend the faith do!
The Church certainly recognizes Peter's importance as Christ's vicar on earth, however, he's CHRIST's vicar. Christ is the cornerstone. The church affirms this time and again to the faithful but when trying to get over authority issues with others, I think the tendency is to retreat to MT 16:18 and say "SEE, THERE!!". Which is often an excercise in futility. Honestly, in my (limited) experience, I've never seen someone attacking the church's credibility or authority turned on their heels by this verse or line of argument.
