I've started listening to the podcast before work instead of my tv shows. I listened to this one this morning. I'm probably going to listen a few more times to get all the pieces. My question is concerning Catholicism. I would imagine that anyone who joined the movement due to the influence of Peter would think he would have agreed with them even concerning things he may never even have anticipated, so you can kind of see how people would accept the Eusebian model of an unaltered orthodoxy passed down from Jesus to the modern Pope! I'm not sure if I want to ask for a date for a recognizable Catholicism or whether its line of succession claims are accurate. I feel like I've made a muck of this question because obviously there wasn't something known as Catholicism in the first century, although they, no doubt, trace their line back through proto catholic groups. Does any of this make sense?
