| Jul 14, 2015 at 7:52 | comment | added | Dick Harfield | I have updated my answer to show some traditions that have found acceptance at various times in the Church, whether or not that acceptance still holds. I have tried to show the evidence FOR Peter in Rome, while being appropriately sceptical of doubtful traditions. In doing so, I have steered clear of the alternative evidence AGAINST Peter in Rome, in which camp I would place the likes of Clement of Rome. | |

| Jul 14, 2015 at 3:53 | comment | added | Dick Harfield | @Mr.Beatitude I have to go now, for a while, but when I come back I'll try to tweak my answer in response to Peter's comment and yours. As I said in my earlier comment, much depends on tradition. | |
| Jul 14, 2015 at 3:51 | comment | added | Dick Harfield | @PeterTurner Thank you for your first comment. I was trying to provide the Catholic position as objectively as I could, as Mr Beatitude requested. The situation seems to be that Peter in Rome is more tradition than dogma. Although I know a number of popes have asserted that Peter was in Rome, I'm not sure whether to write those assertions up as 'dogma', particularly given the context in some cases. | |
| Jul 14, 2015 at 3:49 | comment | added | Mr. Bultitude | I concur with @Peter. There's great info here, and I thank you whole-heartedly for that and for the obvious effort you put into it. A close reading of the answer gives me a pretty good idea of what's dogma and what's not, but I'd really prefer a lot more explicitness about "X is dogma, Y is commonly accepted tradition," etc. | |
