It stared from the apostles and jesus but it is allowed to spread like a wild fire. The fire burned outside the woods of rcc. Still burning. Rcc are nothing but lifeless ashes. Traditions are dark, black and messygood questions
since he does not recognize the authority of rome
is he not making himself the authority?
The "we" also includes fringe catholicswe don't think that
why do you suggest that we do?
If your "proof" contradicts scripture, we will have to reject your "proof".
Shall I believe God or your church fathers? (Speaking of manmade beliefs?)
What scripture says Peter never went to Rome? Where does God say that?
What scripture indicates he did?
No, he was given a commission. Matthew 10:23 (KJV)

Because the Apostles went out, like Jesus told them to.
That is such bizarre thinking that it hardly bears a response.
Nicely stated.
And there is a reason for this fortitude. The reason is that Christ is a reality, not a religion. Nd if a person has his heart and mind open, that reality will become clear to him/her. Regardless of the the authority-driven religiosity they may be bombarded with, or the total lack of religiosity.
It is bizzarre thinking, and rank unbelief, to think the apostles disregarded the LORD's words.
Matthew 20:23 (KJV)
They had no intention of going into all the world until the Son of Man be come. This is his Second Coming, as anyone who had read the Bible recognizes.
It is just possible that what you have been fed by your church for years does not correspond to reality.
It actually makes much more sense that it is his resurrection, not his second coming.Your "proof" is nonsensical and ignores history. St. James went to Spain. St. Thomas went to India. St. Peter also went to
Antioch. St. John went to Ephesus.
