[Uri’el-2012]

Though the Talmud is certainly not considered inspired by Christians it does give a sense of what people were looking for at the time of the Second Temple. It makes the point that the Messiah will take up residence in Rome. Hmmm... The Messiah in Rome.... Ever heard of the Roman Catholic Church? Ever heard of the Vicar of the (Messiah) Christ? If there is any prophetic sense to the expectations of the Hebrew people, then its not simply arbitrary or anti-Christian that the Church, the body of the Messiah, would have its headquarters in Rome.

Interesting circular reasoning.

Using a phrase from the uninspired Talmud
to prove the superiority of the Roman" church".

When we all know that the Roman "church was started
by the Roman Pontiff Constantine at Nicea in 325 CE.

I would say, even later than that. Even when they were talking about the “Primacy of Peter,” as late as 600AD they still regarded the Bishops of Antioch, Alexandria and Rome as all being his “successors” and sitting in his ‘seat.’ It wasn’t until the Pope after Gregory that they claimed the title of Universal Bishop.
