07. The Supreme Authoritative Office of the Universal Church

from Theology on Ice: A Reformed Catholic Podcast

In this episode, I seek to dive into the Scriptures regarding the theological concept that Christ ordained St Peter the Apostle to be the first Pope of His Universal Church. I then assess this development in Church History and the dogmatic Roman Catholic statements about the Papacy as they exist today. Finally, I conclude by looking at how all this relates to a Reformed Catholic Tradition and what we are to do with the Bishop of Rome, as well as the Archbishop of Canterbury, today. Please feel free to leave any questions you have in the comments bellow, or any theological topics you would like to see discussed in the future! God bless!
