No church can save. Only Jesus can save. Having a relationship with the Apostle Peter cannot save you. You may trust your priest. But do you truly trust Christ? Your priest may know his bishop, who knows the cardinal, who knows the pope, who traces himself back to Peter. But can there be any doubt that something of the purity and power of the way of Jesus Christ has been lost through all this transmission?
Please examine your beliefs in the light of the original Christian faith - which is recorded in the Bible.
Did you know?
- There is one mediator between God and men. (1 Tim 2:4,5)
- Every true believer is a priest? (1 Peter 2:9; Revelation
1:5)
- Peter was married, and most early church leaders were! (Mark
1:30; 1 Timothy 3:2-4)
- Jesus is the only solid rock - not Peter! Peter was wrong
many times in the Bible, even after the resurrection (Galatians 2:11)
Here are some links to some provocative material. I may not agree with all the authors say but it makes interesting food for thought.
What every Roman Catholic should know

When this Catholic dies, he learns that his church couldn't
save him.
