Over 60 Scripture references in this letter, making up about a half of it, and which make him sound more like Puritan than a RC.

And let us not forget how Ignatius greeted Polycarp!:

“Ignatius, who is [also called] Theophorus, to Polycarp, bishop of Smyrna, or rather, who has as his own bishop God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ: [wishes] abundance of happiness.” (Epistle to Polycarp)

So much for the Papacy!

[daniel1212]

So he forgot to remind the disciples to submit to successors of Peter as the supreme infallible head, or even to make that a commendation or a remedy, which Paul and even the Lord failed to do in their letters to the various churches. Not very faithful RCs.
