#12185 Was There a Pope in the First Century? And More on the Papacy

12:33 – I struggle with not seeing the papacy in the first century. Can you help clarify where we see it?

18:30 – How close have we ever gotten to the pope who was the minimal requirement, a male baptized Catholic?

22:32 – Regarding his debate with Ubi Petrus. Do you have clarification from one of your questions from the debate?

35:29 – How is it ok that we added the filioque to the Nicene creed? Didn’t the Nicene Creed have a clause that not one word could be changed?

42:09 – How do you think the Church balances separating itself from being too political and how it’s done that historically?

48:24 – How closely do we tie our belief in Christ to our belief in the Church? If the pope were to dogmatically declare heresy, would it invalidate the magisterium?

52:06 – What do you think about the passages in First Clement where he says the Holy Spirit is writing/speaking through him? Is this evidence of papal infallibility?
