Holy friggin crud dude… Confusing (but good) post!

At first I thoguht you were attacking the Primacy of Peter, and Apostolic Succession!

By the way, the reason we deal more with “Was PETER Pope” than “Were the people AFTER him Pope” is becasue Protestants generally admit that if Peter was the leader of the Church then that power would be passed on, so if you can prove Peter, you can prove the Church.
