Do you also not believe in the moon landing, wearing seatbelts, and the fact that the World Trade Center was hit by planes piloted by Moslems, not blown up by Jews in the basement?
The Papacy is a fact of history.
A History written by the catholic church at its foundation.. have there been popes..yea ..but there is no apostolic succession taught in the scripture and there was no papacy until Constantine 300 years after Christ...So they are just men that are elected to oversee a church.. I suspect many of them today are burning in hades
Although Catholic tradition, beginning in the late second and early third centuries, regards Peter as the first Bishop of Rome and, therefore, as the first pope, there is no evidence that Peter was involved in the initial establishment of the Christian community in Rome (indeed, what evidence there is would seem to point in the opposite direction) or that he served as Rome's first bishop.--Richard P. McBrien, Lives of the Popes, HarperSanFrancisco, 1997, p.25
