Who is the First Pope ?

Question

Can u answer me ?

Answer 1

Jesus said to him in reply, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father. And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." (Matthew 16:17-19)

The Catholic Church believes the Lord made Simon alone, whom he named Peter, the "rock" of his Church. He gave him the keys of his Church and instituted him shepherd of the whole flock.

The Pope is the senior pastor of 1.1 billion Catholics, the direct successor of Simon Peter.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

This questions can be answered differently depending upon what you really desire to know.

1. Who was the first person given the title Pope?
or
2. Who was the first person who held the same authority and leadership position as the Pope today.

Question 1 has been answered as Pope Siricius around the 4th century I'm not sure about that.
Question 2 is Peter the Apostle also called Cepheus in Greek or Kepha the aramaic translation which means only one thing rock.

Look for the book 'The bones of Peter' and we do know Peter went to Rome in his letter II Peter he uses the code word for pagan Rome , Babylon from which he writes explaining Mark and the church at Babylon are praying for you. Peter was first Patriarch in Antioch and afterward Rome, both of which are the first of the Patriarchates. Someone mentioned the Patriarchate Byzantium more correct Constantinople but this was not created as a see of authority for some several hundred years after the time of Peter.

The Pope has always had the place of authority in the Christian Church that he has today and it has taken the Bishop of Rome (Pope) or his representatives to conclude any general eccumenical councils with the Pope ratifying the councils final answers of the faith. There is a very early writing 1st Clement written to the church in Greece after they had requested Pope Clement's council and correction as leader of the entire church catholic/orthodox together. This was written during the first century while the apostle John was still alive and closer to them at Patimos. One wonders why they would not have just asked the first apostle John if Pope Clement held no such authority to correct error with authority over the entire church of the time.

Answer 3

Only according to the Official Church story was Peter the first Pope. But there is no evidence that he was ever in Rome, and in Acts, he's in Jerusalem, and it's clearly JAMES who is in charge.

For the first three centuries of the Christian Era, the Bishop of Rome was not recognized as being in charge, neither did he claim to be. He was no more important than the Bishops of Alexandria, Byzantium, Antioch or Jerusalem. He did not pronounce doctrine binding on the rest of the Church. He did not appoint Bishops. These were elected by local Congregations, In fact, the Bishop of Rome was, too.

Only when Christianity was taken over by the Roman Empire was there any such thing as the Catholic Church, and only when Valentinian II officially gave the Bishop of Rome control over all of Christianity was ther any Pope as we understand it. The first REAL Pope, then, was Innocent I in the fifth century. Any list of "Popes" before then, from Peter on down, is nonsense.
