Supremacy Of The Pope

From BiblePortal Wikipedia

Supremacy Of The Pope [1]

A doctrine held by the Roman Catholics, who believe that the bishop of Rome is, uner Christ, supreme pastor of the whole church; and, as such, is not only the first bishop in order and dignity, but has also a power and jurisdiction over all Christians. This doctrine is chiefly built upon the suposed primacy of St. Peter, of whom the bishop of Rome is the pretended successor; a primacy we no where find commanded or countenanced, but absolutely prohibited, in the word of God,  Luke 22:14;  Luke 22:24 .  Mark 9:35 .
