probably should not have been done. Unless they want to hash out the entire back-and-forth argument in the body of the article, that section should be left for objections alone, especially since, as you imply, much of the rest is frank pro-papal propaganda. Besides, the counter-argument is fallacious. If you edit that section you'll see my rather lengthy comment to that effect. I should probably have put it into the talk page, but I didn't feel like getting into

the medieval and modern sense of the word. On the other hand, it may well have been first applied to Linus, who was at least Pope in the modern sense of Bishop of Rome (but nothing else.) The answer here is that I don't know, and I don't think anyone does. My concession was really nothing more than an unwillingness to argue from ignorance. By the same token, no argument can be made in the other direction either.
148:
Was Peter then a Pope in the sense of the first point I made, a beloved leader who the
Christian Church in Rome came to call "Papa"? This I don't know the answer to, and it's the reason I conceded the possible point. Maybe Peter was called Pope. But that doesn't mean at all that he was the Pope in

My feeling is probably not, but there's nothing to say it wasn't. Remember that documentary evidence from the period is extremely spotty. Those few patristic writings we have must represent only the tip of the iceberg for what what produced at the time. Also, even now "pope" not considered a formal

I'm not too sure on this point, but perhaps - As I understand it, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, possible Quebec were invited to join the revolution, and the Union afterwards - an offer I believe that technically still stands. My guess is then that they likely were considered

140:
Then, was Peter a Pope in the sense of being the Vicar of Christ on Earth, exercising a universal monarchal jurisdiction over all the other
Christian apostles and bishops? Clearly, the answer here is no. Not only do we know from several references in the Pauline Epistles that St. Paul told him off

Hello
Sumercognito I still use Bombay, but I'm not sure how widespread Mumbai is. It's certainly gaining currency, and may become the standard eventually if it isn't already. Names do change over time, which is fine, but I'm disinclined to switch just because some official source says I ought to -
274:
I can't say I'm too happy with it myself, but the fact of the matter is that when you say "Catholic Church" most people are going to think of the organization ruled from Rome. They've successfully co-opted the name, at least in the west, which has a lot to do with why we call it, for instance, the

I haven't written any major article content yet, but I might try to set out the
Protestant objections to the Papacy as I don't care for what's there now. Altogether, some discussion of Matthew 16:18 needs to be had, and besides that, the entire thing seems to be categorized in Catholic theological

since the full name is given there. It's more problematic in the JPII article, but it must be admitted that 99% of readers will know exactly what is meant by it, and a goodly percentage of them do so without acknowledging at all that it's really catholic in the theological sense, or at least not
175:
Well, that's kind of par for the course. It was probably contributed by
Catholics and that language comes naturally to them. (You could probably say something analagous about many of the pages on Orthodoxy.) I notice that someone sneaked in a counter-argument in the "Objections" section, which
480:
I definitely agree with your point about spelling - but what I think may motivate it is that a lot of languages have an official arbitraitor of the language - so they're simply ignorant of the

Also, you mentioned a temptation to overhaul the part of the Pope article relating to
Orthodox objections to the Papacy. I would encourage you to rewrite the section from a strictly Orthodox viewpoint, including the Orthodox view of Apostolic Succession. As for Anglican views, they should be be

position is that Peter was not Bishop of Rome, so there's no unique way in which the Bishop of Rome is his successor relative to any other bishop he consecrated. (Or those consecrated by any of the other Apostles for that matter. They all had the same grace.)

OK, so was Peter a pope in the sense of being the bishop of Rome? Our tradition says no. Peter was an Apostle which means his ministry extended over numerous places by definition. A bishop, by contrast, exercises his ministry over a fixed
