Papalism
by Edward Denny
Papalism examines each of the papacy’s major claims and seeks to honestly engage with each one. Edward Denny re-establishes Christian unity by addressing major ecumenical disagreements through Scripture and church history. Papalism begins with an examination of the words, “Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church,” seeking wisdom from early Church Fathers to discuss Peter’s appointment as the head of the Church. Papalism studies the testimonies of Saint Cyprian, Saint Jerome, Saint Augustine, Saint Chrysostom, and others to shed light on the claims of the papacy, and to ultimately support the stances of both the Eastern Orthodox and Anglican Churches.

“The Peter Syndrome.” This refers to the propensity on the part of many Roman Catholic apologists to find any statement about Peter in the writings of an early Father and apply this to the Bishop of Rome. There are many exalted statements made about Peter by men such as Cyprian or Chrysostom. However, it does not follow that these statements about Peter have anything at all to do with the bishop of Rome. The Roman apologist must demonstrate that for such statements to be meaningful that the Father under discussion believed that the bishop of Rome alone is the sole, unique successor of Peter, so that any such exalted language about Peter is to be applied in that Father’s thinking to the bishop of Rome alone. If such a basis is not provided, references to Peter are irrelevant.
One even finds the Peter Syndrome infecting the exegesis of our authors of biblical passages as well. This is easily understood: our authors belong to religious systems that demand they believe certain things about Peter and Peter’s alleged successors. These systems claim extra-scriptural authority, and hence, it is hardly surprising to find that people who hold to such systems do not practice sola scriptura, and hence do not engage in fair exegesis of the text itself. Instead, since they hold to sola ecclesia (the idea that the Church alone has supreme and final authority, which is illustrated so clearly by Rome’s claim to define the canon of Scripture as well as the interpretation thereof, and to define the extent, and meaning, of “Tradition” as well, leaving her as the sole functional authority), they will find in the text exactly what the ecclesia tells them to find.
