Did Peter’s role as head of the Church continue with the successor of the Bishop of Rome, or was Jesus’ intention that only Peter would have such a role? In continuation of our series on the Papacy, Justin Hibbard examines three questions: Why does the Catholic Church believe that Peter had a successor? Why do we believe it was specifically the Bishop of Rome and no one else? And why do we believe in the primacy of the Chair of St. Peter (i.e. papal supremacy)?
