    The apostle Peter was the first Pope of the Catholic Church. He was given the special authority by Jesus to lead his (Jesus) Church. All popes after Peter are considered to be his successors.

    I was raised a Catholic.

      The Eastern Orthodox church existed first and it was Rome who broke away believing they were superior, which differed from the tradition of first amongst equals. The church in Jerusalem was first, and that is Eastern Orthodox, not Roman Catholic.

        It's called Apostolic Succession.

        That's the thing about religion, you can believe whatever you want.

        Not a regular church attendee, I mostly only go for weddings and funerals.
        8 years of parochial school really wiped me out.

      How long had he been dead before he was given the title of pope?
