I wanted to be Roman Catholic until I learned, among other things, that Rome’s exegesis of the Scriptural passages (Matt. 16; John 20) which allegedly establish the papacy was not shared by the early church. And this is no surprise, considering that the historical record does not vindicate Romanist claims of supremacy/infallibility either. It’s a giant tautology. Unfortunately, most people who are prone to swim the Tiber are prevented by fear of damnation or a swooning smitten-ness that they have no interest in doing their homework.

I offer the following essay (really, it’s a short book) for your consideration:

And another, for good measure:
