S. Peter, Bishop of Rome: Or, the Roman Episcopate of the Prince of the Apostles (Classic Reprint) - Brossura
Sinossi
Excerpt from S. Peter, Bishop of Rome: Or, the Roman Episcopate of the Prince of the Apostles
Nevertheless, the Catholic tradition that S. Peter was Bishop of Rome is of importance not only from an historical point of view, but also in the province of dogma within the Church, and of controversy with those outside its pale. For, as held by Catholics, in correlation with the succession of the Roman Pontiffs, it is in its theological aspect a great fact intimately bound up with what is of revealed faith viz., the permanent institution by our Lord Jesus Christ of the Primacy in His Church. It forms, indeed, the actual verification in all time of that wondrous promise recorded in the Gospels which our Divine Lord made to S. Peter: Thou art Peter: and upon this rock I will build My Church. 9 Whilst, as regards controversy, it is a matter of vital moment to Protestants; and one which they have ever most strenuously assailed, driven thereto by the very necessity of their position as opponents of the Catholic Faith. Hence, in spite of my general aim, I have found it impossible to avoid treating the subject to a large extent apologetically, and in its theological aspect.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the historical and theological evidence for St. Peter being the first Bishop of Rome, an event believed to be the catalyst for the transfer of the Primacy from Peter himself to the line of Roman Pontiffs who succeeded him. The author traces the historical arguments for and against Peter's Roman Episcopate from both early Christian sources and archaeological discoveries, exploring the relationship between the Episcopate and the Primacy in Catholic theology, and arguing that the Roman Episcopate was not intrinsically necessary for the legitimate succession of the Bishops of Rome to the Primacy but was chosen as the means of that transmission due to its association with Peter. The author also contends that the admission of Peter's Episcopate by non-Catholics should logically lead them to concede the truth of the Papal claims and by consequence to the acknowledgment of the Catholic Faith as a whole.
