If Peter was the first "Pope" then who was the second?

Question

If Peter was the first "Pope" then who was the second?

Answer 1

Peter was not the first Pope

Peter was sent by the Holy Spirit to minister to the Jews and Paul was sent to the Gentiles

Answer 2

St. Linus (2 Tm 4:21) was recognized by the Church as St. Peter's successor. However, St. Peter may have named St. Clement I of Corinthian Church. St. Linus was actually St. Paul's successor even though St. Paul was never recognized by the Church as St. Peter's successor. But eventually St. Clement I of Corinthian Church was acknowledged as the fourth Pope.



That is why the Roman Catholic Church recognizes St. Peter and St. Paul as the early leaders of the Church.

Answer 3

These are the Popes of the first century:

Peter

Linus

Anacletus

Clement I

Evaristus



Pope Benedict XVI is the 265th Pope of Rome. There is no official list of Popes. The "Annuario Pontifico", which is published every years by the Vatican, contains a list that is generally considered to be the most authoritative.

Answer 5

The heresy that is now known as Papacy didn't exist until the mid 6th century AD, Peter wasn't the first "Pope", he was the first Patriarch of Antioch (Orthodox Patriarchate) and then the first Patriarch of Rome (Orthodox for 1054 years of history), it is not until the 6th century that the Church in Rome began practicing some heretical things that eventually lead to the Great Schism between the East and the West, forming the Roman Catholic Church, while the Orthodox Church continued on the right road without any changes, or heresies, unlike the anathematized Roman Catholicism.

Answer 6

Peter was given the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven,



And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.





The Kingdom of heaven was only ever offered to the Jews. The phrase only appears in Matthew, the gospel that shows Christ as King of the Jews. To be given keys is a sign of office of authority. Peter was given the authority as Apostle to the Jews.



This was confirmed in Galatians,

But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;

(For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)



It is the Kingdom of God that is now thrown open to the Gentiles since the Jews rejected their King and His Kingdom on earth.



Roman Catholics know absolutely nothing. First church back to Peter, what jokers!



You can understand why they banned the Bible for over 1,000 years.









Now the secret is out and has been since the Bible became freely available.
