Thank you, Steven for your gentle reminder that the Church itself is infallible. That human beings, like Peter, are weak. That Peter represents all of us who are struggling to maintain our faith and find Christ. But, like Peter, we never give up (hopefully) and Christ allows us to know Him more, so long as we are prepared to accept His will for us. Peter represents us. It is also a beautiful reminder that regardless of the sinfulness of human beings who have represented the Church, Christ has always intervened and upheld it. God bless!

Hey Steven,

The history of the papacy is quite interesting. Yes, we start with St
Peter then tend to skip everything up to today. “Nor has the Pope ever been flawless” is a bit of an understatement once you start to do a little research. On the other hand, one must wonder what it is like to have the authority from Christ.

Thanks for the great reflection.

Mark

Unfortunately Pope Francis too willingly shows his human side by venturing into economics, advancing socialist doctrine, and into science, pemitting ‘consensus’ to guide him to exhortations on global warming. He is such an inspiration when he, “tends the flock in his midst.” I pray that the Holy Spirit keeps him on track.

It’s so reassuring to see the human side to the apostles,St Peter especially. This reflection was great, I’m not perfect in my faith but I am perfect in my effort. Thank you Steven for your insight on today’s gospel.
