Description: This book delves into the historical and theological debate surrounding the role of the Papacy within the Christian Church. Examining scriptural texts, writings of early Church Fathers, and pronouncements of Church councils, the author meticulously analyzes the development of Papal claims throughout history. The book meticulously dissects the argument for Papal supremacy as presented in Pope Leo XIII's encyclical *Satis Cognitum*, contrasting it with evidence from the early Church. This exploration sheds light on pivotal moments in Christian history, including the separation of the Eastern and Western Churches and the Reformation. By delving into the concept of the "Master of the Episcopal College" and the authority of general councils, the author challenges the notion of the Pope's absolute and divinely ordained power over the Church. This critical examination invites readers to engage with complex theological questions and consider the historical context that shaped the Papacy's current position. Ultimately, this book offers a compelling argument for a nuanced understanding of the Papacy, urging readers to re-evaluate its role in light of historical evidence and the Church's foundational principles.
