| Sep 26, 2017 at 20:59 | comment | added | Wtrmute | Regarding the answer with 11+ votes, it does point out the paragraphs that the paragraph in the question restates, and furthermore the notes that the Catechism itself gives in order to trace the immediate ancestors of that doctrinal statement, which is more in the direction of answering the question than yours (in my opinion) does. However, I see you do not think my concerns are warranted; in that case, there is little else for me to say. | |
| Sep 26, 2017 at 19:44 | comment | added | SLM | Oddly, the answer with 11+ (so far) doesn't provide what you are asking for at all, though IMO mine fleshes it out, including some historical references. The other answer simply quotes a catechism without any explanation. Did you or others mark it down? If not, why not? | |
| Sep 26, 2017 at 18:50 | comment | added | Wtrmute | My understanding of the question is that the OP asks for the history of the doctrine of Papal supremacy (or primacy): predecessor doctrines, patristic and medieval theologians who advanced or defended it, and possibly Scriptural or para-Scriptural support, while your answer seems to be principally concerned with what the doctrine claims, and whether arguments for or against those claims hold up using mostly arguments from reason. | |
| Sep 26, 2017 at 18:31 | comment | added | SLM | Hmm, divine appointment should be spelled out more clearly? RC believes that God appointed Christ who appointed Peter who appointed the bishop in Rome who appointed the next bishop in Rome and onward to the present? See more in the answer spelled out. | |
| Sep 26, 2017 at 18:20 | comment | added | Wtrmute | This isn't so much an answer to the question (how did the doctrine originate?) as a value judgement about it (should it have originated?) | |
