The Importance of a Teaching Office

The podcast highlights the necessity of an ongoing infallible teaching office within the Church, emphasizing that without such a framework, the role of Peter alone is insufficient. It suggests that the New Testament should ideally clarify the existence of this continuum, much like a vehicle needs all its tires to function. The speaker expresses concern that the teachings of the New Testament lack explicit references to a pope or a structured teaching office, which is critical in maintaining church doctrine. This absence is perceived as a significant problem for understanding the role of authority in the Church.
