Where in Holy Scripture does Our Lord delegate any' of His authority to a single human being? It was not until he read and read again the words of Jesus to Peter (Matthew that George Johnson began to understand the Catholic claim of papal authority "And I say unto thee That thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail-against it" "And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven" The Catholic claim concerning the authority of the Pope does not depend solely of course upon this or other significant pasmges of Holy Scripture For the Vicarship of die Pontiffs had been universally recognized throughout Christendom king before the books of the Bible had been gathered together and several centuries before the Church had officially selected the writings which were to be regarded as inspired But for the benefit of those who wish to weigh the Catholic WEEl jM I sun IMS council KNIGHTS OF COUIMBUS KEUGIOUS INFOIMATION BUREAU 4411 Linda!
