Peter was the first bishop of bishops, there ave been many like him, but now we are going thru a period of really BAD popes. Personally I think the last REALLY ggo pope was Pius the X.
Originally, bishops used consensus. If they couldnt reach a consensus, they agreed to disagree.
Originally, the bishop of Rome, did NOT have veto power or sole authority to speak for the whole church.
However, that power was claimed 1400 years later when the Great Schism, for a variety of reasons, became official.
After the Great Schism, Western Christianity became a religion rather than a uniquely individual Way of Life based on a personal relationship with Christ; a relationship based on Love.
As the bible points out, "ONLY God is good". Consequently, those who take what the bible says seriously may be less surprised than those who don't when they learn that human beings and human institutions aren't "GOD good".
Rather than being shocked and/or enraged by revelations, theyre more likely to be grateful for reminders to pray for those who are falling short and may, in fact, now be in grave danger.
Personally, I thank God for His Amazing Grace. Thankfully, I'm not the only one.
I agree.
