You asked for the source of the Petrine Primacy and I cited Matthew 16. If you're looking for someone to weigh in with something a little less black-and-white I'm sure it'll come along shortly.

Paul said to the centurion standing there, ‘Is it legal for you to flog a Roman citizen who hasn’t even been found guilty?’ ‘Of course not!’ exclaimed the centurion. ‘Damn!’ cried Paul. ‘Will you do it anyway?’ – Acts 22:25 
500 Swiss Catholics left the church in last 3 weeks. And seems church bosses aren't worried about lost souls as much as lost money. Because in Switzerland, faithful pay a "church tax" and church coffers are taking a big hit.
Quote:Catholic Church experiences exodus in wake of sex abuse scandal
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I just stopped going to mass, stopped dropping money in the basket, and ignored the mailers from the Archdiocese of Seattle begging for money until they gave up. RE: Decline of religion

They never gave up, and they still claim your membership when they go hat in hand begging the us government for billions of dollars a year. You know, for your kids - you being a member and all. Fucking criminals. It's not a financial crime if you do it for gawd.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Especially since in some countries, the Catholic Church just takes money from the government budget.

If they want that to come to a sudden stop they are proceeding correctly. Pope promoting known kiddie diddlers. RE: Decline of religion

It's almost as if they're daring us to fuck them over...right? Well, good sirs, challenge accepted. I feel like they might owe alot of back taxes, as the bidness entity they profess themselves to be when they're pleading poverty before charity. Let's get someone in here that can count past ten without taking off their shoes and see just how many dollars in arear they are......
