Spiritual_Arsonist Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 In theological terms, is the foundation of the Catholic Church Peter or Christ? I want to say Peter, because it sounds silly to build on yourself if it was him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theologian in Training Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 In theological terms, is the foundation of the Catholic Church Peter or Christ? I want to say Peter, because it sounds silly to build on yourself if it was him. Christ founded the Church, but gave Peter the power to maintain the Church here on earth.

Winchester Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 The Church is the Bride of Christ. Peter, being the steward of the Church is the first of Christ's successors, thus the foundation of the Church in that sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
