Catholic documents testify that Papacy is unhistorical and without basis


 THE FLAG OF THE VATICAN


"Most scholars reject as unhistorical The tradition that the Apostle Peter was ,and was recognised as being the first Bishop of Rome."(The Christian Society ,Neill Stephen.London :Great Bretain Collins Clear -type press.1952 p.36)

A testimony of a Catholic bishop about "PAPACY" who is Bishop Joseph George Strossmayer

"Now having read the whole New testament ,I declare before God ,with my hand raised to that great crucifix, that I have found no trace of the papacy as it exits at this moment ."(p.4)

"Finding no trace of the papacy in the days of the apostles, I said to my self I shall find what I am search of in the annals of the church. Well,I say it frankly I have sought for a pope in the first four centuries, and I have not found him." (Bishop Strossmayer's Speech( in the Vatican council of 1870 ,p.10)

"Ignasius wrote six of his letters outside Rome urging the people to rally behind their bishop as a sign of unity ,but in his letters to Romans he never mentioned a Roman bishop.(Saints & sinners by Eamon Duffy p.7)

When the word Pope was mentioned?


Now it is safe to say that Peter was never called Pope and will  never be the 1st Pope of the Catholic Church.

besides it is a violation of Jesus' commandment of calling no man FATHER in religion as mentioned in Matthew 23:9.

Another, there is no office of the Pope in this verse mentioned as part of the Christian Church:

1 Corinthians 12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
