Again, I do not try to argue anything the Fathers of the Church did not teach. I am, after all, Catholic. The authors of the Encyclical, however, mislead their flock as regards to the patristic teaching on the confession of Peter, the nature of the grant of the keys, and the charge to Peter. I showed why.

Why would they want to encourage the presumption of Rome

Even assuming the nobility of their purpose, they should not tell the flock "all fathers of the church in one accord teach" when in fact they don't.

One cannot pursue a worthy goal with dishonest means.
