Peter and the Pope | TSM#20

Truth Still Matters (From the Heart of a Catholic)

One of the most misunderstood teachings of the Church is about the Pope. About eight years ago, I can remember working as an accountant in my cubicle and being challenged by a co-worker. Ave Maria Radio was on and some speaker mentioned the "Holy Father." My co-worker paused her work to comment on how she did not appreciate some man being called "Holy Father" when there is only one Holy Father, God the Father. I proceeded to try to explain to her the significance of the Pope and his title of "Holy Father." This vodcast gives a biblical explanation of the papacy. St. Peter, pray for us. St. John Paul the Great pray for us!
