Paul was NEVER under Peter's authority

[JudgeRightly]

I asking where is it "claimed by the Romanists that Paul went to Peter in Galatians 2 to "check" that he was teaching correct doctrine."

I believe that you have made such a claim.

It is claimed by Rome (the RCC) that Peter (and his successors), as "pope" is the sole "leader and representative" of Jesus Christ on earth. Paul consistently, throughout his epistles, proves that claim to be FALSE. Paul claims equal but different authority. Paul is the founder of the body of Christ based on the authority given him by the RISEN and ASCENDED Lord Jesus Christ.

Peter was ONE of TWELVE apostles that have authority over ISRAEL. Israel is FALLEN.

The offices were instituted by Jesus and the Apostles, and the Scripture, even the Protestant versions of the Scripture, prove it explicitly. 1st Timothy 3:1 has Paul presuming the office of bishop is already ontologically real. Jesus singles out Peter to set out particular duties just for him, and then John's Gospel, written after Peter died, into a subsequent pontificate, bolsters the Scriptural written record of the distinction of Peter's office by including the "Feed My sheep" conversation between our Lord and Peter.

The papacy is a distinct office from all the rest of the bishops. He's not just "first among equals", his office is distinct. The idea that his office is just another patriarchate is partisan (the party in question being namely, Eastern Orthodoxy).
