Rome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Bishop of Rome is the Pope; in his pastoral activity strictly applicable to the city, he is assisted by a vicar (usually a cardinal). Rome today is one of the most important tourist destinations of the world, due to the incalculable immensity of its archaeological and artistic treasures, as well as for the charm of its unique traditions, the beauty of its panoramic views, and the majesty of its magnificent "villas" (parks). Rome grew from pastoral settlements on the Palatine Hill and surrounding hills approximately eighteen miles from the Tyrrhenian Sea on the south side of the Tiber. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Rome

Bishop of Rome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Bishop of Rome is an ecclesiastical office and title of the popes and is often used in preference to Pope by some members of Eastern Orthodox and Protestant religious denominations to reflect a rejection of papal authority over the Christian community. In the Oriental Orthodox Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Bishop of Rome is accorded historical title to "first among equals" among the overseers of the church, and "Supreme Patriarch of the Western Church". The Catholic tradition teaches that the Bishop of Rome is the successor of the Apostle Saint Peter and thus the "Vicar of Christ" for the entire world. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Bishop_of_Rome

Bishop of Rome The Bishop of Rome is an ecclesiastical title of the Pope, and is used in preference to Pope by some who choose to reflect their rejection of his claims of authority over all Christians in their terminological discourse. The Catholic traditions all teach that the Bishop of Rome is the successor of the Apostle, Saint Peter. Outside of the Roman Catholic Church, inclusive of the Oriental Orthodox Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Bishop of Rome is accorded historical title to "first among equals" among the overseers of the church, and "Supreme Patriarch of the Western Church". www.1-free-software.com /en/wikipedia/b/bi/bishop_of_rome.html

Bishop of Rome is Peter’s Successor February 3, 1993 The Bishops of Rome have generally spoken, taught, defended Christ's truth, celebrated pontifical rites and blessed the faithful in the name of Peter and Paul, the "Princes of the Apostles", the olivae binaepietatis unicae, as is sung in the hymn for their feast on 29 June. The Bishop of Rome is the Successor of Peter; however, he can also be called the heir of Paul, the greatest representative of the early Church's missionary efforts and of the wealth of her charisms. The See of Rome is thus the criterion and measure of the apostolic authenticity of the various Churches, the guarantee and principle of their communion in universal "charity", the foundation (kephas) of the visible organism of the Church established and ruled by the risen Christ as the "eternal Shepherd" of the entire sheepfold of believers. www.miraclerosarymission.org /93feb3n50.htm

MSN Encarta - Roman Catholic Church The bishop is the chief liturgical figure in the diocese and is distinguished from the priest principally by the power to confer holy orders and to act as the usual minister of confirmation. The bishop has the highest jurisdictional powers within the diocese: He has the right to admit priests to his diocese and to exclude them from the practice of ministry within it, and he assigns priests of his diocese to parishes and other duties. Directly under the bishop are the clergy, both secular and religious. encarta.msn.com /encyclopedia_761573737/Roman_Catholic_Church.html

Bishop of Rome By the 700's the title for affection and respect for the Bishop of Rome exclusively was Pope. Two great historians of the Church, Eusebius of Caesarea, a bishop and historian of the Council of Nicaea, and Augustine, bishop and theologian, preserve for us the list of successors of the bishop of Rome to their own time. It is not uncommon for enemies and non-believers of Roman Catholicism to create an argument against the succession and therefore validity of the Bishops of Rome as true successors to Peter by proffering the history of the "bad Popes." That argument arises from a basic misunderstanding of Sacred Scripture. www.catholicapologetics.org /ap050400.htm

PeterInRome.doc To summarize, a good first century definition of bishop would be that of a shepherd especially charged to forcefully protect the sound doctrine and peace of the local church. This reference to Christ as Bishop is important because critical scholars have a tendency to say that an apostle like Peter was not a mere administrator as they say episkopos implies. As a primary example, when first century texts apply episkopos or bishop to several individuals in the same community, these critics conclude that this plurality ipso facto shows that there was no bishop at all in those communities because the narrow definition assumed by these critics requires one solitary bishop per community. www.catholicconvert.com /Portals/57ad7180-c5e7-49f5-b282-c6475cdb7ee7/Documents/PeterInRome.doc

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pope St. Linus The explanation given by Severano of this discovery ("Memorie delle sette chiese di Roma", Rome, 1630, 120) is that probably these sarcophagi contained the remains of the first Roman bishops, and that the one bearing that inscription was Linus's burial place. It cannot be doubted that according to the accounts of Irenaeus concerning the Roman Church in the second century, Linus was chosen to be head of the community of Christians in Rome, after the death of the Apostle. Perhaps it was on account of these dates that the writers of the fourth century gave their opinion that Linus had held the position of head of the Roman community during the life of the Apostle; e.g., Rufinus in the preface to his translation of the pseudo-Clementine "Recognitiones". www.newadvent.org /cathen/09272b.htm

Pope Dionysius (260-268) reprimanded Bishop Dionysius of Alexandria for misstatements on the Trinity. Bishop Strossmayer was also falsely quoted as saying that "the popes have erred in their teaching."

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Pope The emperor decreed that he who was acknowledged by the bishops of Italy and the Bishop of Rome, must be recognized as rightful occupant of the see. In this case the Apostles must have known the law determining the succession to the Bishop of Rome, not merely on human testimony, but also by Divine revelation, and they must have taught it as a revealed truth to their disciples. The title of universal bishop occurs as early as the eighth century; and in 1413 the faculty of Paris rejected the proposition of John Hus that the pope was not universal bishop (Natalis Alexander, "Hist. www.newadvent.org /cathen/12260a.htm

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Hippolytus of Rome The fact that Hippolytus was a schismatic Bishop of Rome and yet was held in high honour afterwards both as martyr and theologian, explains why as early as the fourth century nothing was known as to his see, for he was not on the list of the Roman bishops. Hippolytus was a presbyter of the Church of Rome at the beginning of the third century. For this Hippolytus gravely censured him, representing him as an incompetent man, unworthy to rule the Church of Rome and as a tool in the hands of the ambitious and intriguing deacon Callistus, whose early life is maliciously depicted (Philosophumena, IX, xi-xii). www.newadvent.org /cathen/07360c.htm

Bishop of Rome Early tradition of the church seeks to demonstrate that the bishop of Rome was in direct line from Peter, claimed as the city's first bishop. The bishops of Rome claimed a role as final authority in local disputes, and the right to lead the increasingly centralized church. Pope Gregory wielded his authority effectively by taking military and civil control when Rome was threatened by the Lombards at the end of the 6th century. www.kenanderson.net /bible/bishop_of_rome.html

Tract Number 90--The Bishop of Rome Bishop is superior to bishop only in rank, not in real power; and the Bishop of Rome, the head of the Catholic world, is not the centre of unity, except as having a primacy of order. Accordingly, even grating for argument’s sake, that the English Church violated a duty in the 16th century, in releasing itself from the Roman supremacy, still it did not thereby commit that special sin, which cuts off from it the fountains of grace, and is called schism. By "hath" is meant "ought to have," as the Articl in the 36th Canon and the Oath of Supremacy show, in which the same doctrine is drawn out more at length. anglicanhistory.org /tracts/tract90/section12.html

An introduction to the False Prophet - The Pope or Bishop of Rome The Catholic church claims that Peter was the bishop of the church at Rome and that he held the position as the first Pope. Their bread god (Eucharist) of the pagan mass was westernized in 492 AD by Gelasius I (492-96) Bishop of Rome.

ChurchRodent: Leo, Bishop of Rome On his acceptance of the office of the bishop of Rome, Leo raised the status of the bishop's office to that of "Supreme Head of all Christendom." Christ built his church on Peter, the bishops are successors to Peter, thus the bishops, and ultimately the Roman bishop, held the church's final authority, according to Leo. When Attila withdrew, probably for reasons of his own, the Bishop of Rome assumed a new role regardless. In June of 452, was sent as an emissary to negotiate for peace with Attila the Hun as he advanced on Rome. tatumweb.com /churchrodent/terms/leobishop.htm

Clement of Rome, Bishop From this, some have inferred that the office of bishop had not yet developed at either Rome or Corinth, and that in both congregations the office of presbyter was the highest office known. A probable alternate explanation, however, is that the troubles in Corinth had arisen when the bishop of that congregation had died, and the congregation had split into factions, none containing both a majority of the presbyters and a majority of the congregation. However, a letter from Corinth to Rome a few decades later refers to "the letter we received from your bishop Clement, which we still read regularly." Other early writers are unanimous in attributing the letter to Clement. justus.anglican.org /resources/bio/290.html

In retrospect, the pilgrimage was exactly what Bishop Keating had desired: a time of grace for this diocesan church observing its silver jubilee and a time of fitting preparation for the Great Jubilee of the Year 2000 – now only weeks away! Several times, we turned our thoughts to Bishop Keating, believing in faith that he was accompanying us with his prayer as we crossed the Atlantic and visited the holy places in the Eternal City, which he so loved and where he died, as well as Assisi and Florence. www.catholicherald.com /articles/00articles/bishrome.htm

WAS PETER THE BISHOP OF ROME? While it is possible that Peter visited Rome briefly at some point, the biblical record testifies conclusively that he was not the bishop of the church at Rome. So that if Peter were Bishop of Rome he enjoyed an immunity which was not accorded to Paul, and is guilty of having forsaken the great apostle. ) - The Roman Catholic Church claims that Peter was the bishop of the church at Rome and that he held the position as the first Pope. www.wayoflife.org /fbns/fbns/fbns242.html
