This is all correct. Peter was the first pope of the church which we believe God Himself (as Jesus) founded, and has a divine connection to.
Cheers!
It is sometimes strange to see how the folks around here pick on catholicism without understanding that it's not a form of christianity that follows the bible as best they can.
There's a difference, compared to the "protestant" and similar versions of christianity... and it's an important difference, albeit one that even you seemed to find difficult to account for.
My bold. I say this literally all the time, but it's like people just don't get it lol. I mean, I know I'm not so good at explaining things, but gosh, I've explained it soooo many times, so many different ways.
No, not "difficult to account for," in and of itself. I just generally have a hard time putting my thoughts into words. I was always more of a math girl. Language, reading, writing, etc... were never my thing. I have 0 eloquence lol.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
