Ep. #61 - Exegetical Support for Petrine Primacy w/ Fr. Gadenz

Is there strong scriptural support for the Primacy of Peter? Scholar of sacred scripture, Fr. Pablo T. Gadenz, joins us to examine three passages to answer that question. We look at Matthew 16, Luke 22, and John 21 in detail. And I mean DETAIL. I put several objections to Fr. Gadenz along the way. In the final segment, I ask about scriptural support for the ideas of an office and papal succession. The Classical Theism Podcast aims to defend Catholic Christian ideas in conversation. With the help of various guests, I defend three pillars of the Catholic Christian worldview: (1) the God of classical theism exists, (2) Jesus is our Messiah and Lord, and (3) He founded the Catholic Church. We place a strong emphasis on the first pillar, defending classical theism, drawing upon the work of Thomistic philosopher Dr. Edward Feser and many others. John DeRosa www.classicaltheism.com/support
