Wrong again. these questions and lots more were asked years ago by myself and others in RI(Religious Instruction) I was educated at a catholic school prior to entry into a seminary at 17.

Incidentally, what faith are you? You may feel this doesnt matter, but think about it. If you believe in the Bible so much how come you havent converted to Catholicism? After all Matthew 16:18: "You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church."

Is that not Jesus investing Peter as the earthly head of his church, in which case the catholic Church is the only church with a line of authority directly from Jesus.
