The Papacy, Tradition, and the Gospel: Justin Peters with Mike Gendron

Roman Catholicism claims to possess an unbroken line of papal authority, doctrinal stability, and the fullness of the Christian faith. Yet throughout history, popes have contradicted one another, added doctrines foreign to Scripture, and placed tradition alongside and at times above the Word of God. In this conversation, Justin Peters and Mike Gendron examine: ✅ The biblical and historical claims of the papacy ✅ Matthew 16:18 and the question of "the rock" ✅ The Council of Trent and Rome's response to the Reformation ✅ Justification by faith alone vs. Rome's sacramental system ✅ Purgatory, indulgences, and the Mass ✅ Marian dogmas and Rome's view of salvation ✅ Contemporary ecumenism and why clarity matters This episode is not an attack on individual Roman Catholics. Both Justin and Mike express sincere affection for Roman Catholics and desire to see them come to saving faith in Christ alone. Their critique is directed toward the system of Roman Catholicism, which Scripture warns has added to the gospel and stands in contradiction to the sufficiency of Christ's finished work. Scripture is clear: "There is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." — 1 Timothy 2:5 "It is finished." — John 19:30 We invite you to weigh everything said in this episode against the unchanging Word of God.
