Back when Cameron Bertuzzi (host of the fantastic channel, ‪@CapturingChristianity‬ ) was wrestling with the biblical and historical arguments for the papacy as a Protestant, we included this little biblical argument for the papacy at the tail end of our “Did Peter Leave a Successor in Rome” episode.
We have heard the arguments from Matthew 16 and John 21, but an often neglected text is Acts 15 (especially in the light of the information we presented in our Jerusalem Council episodes). There is perhaps no biblical text that better demonstrates the full pattern of authoritative decision-making in the Church.

Hi, Catholic brothers There are a lot of Catholic Three Days of Darkness on RU-vid videos and links. But I don't hear much about orthodoxy three days of darkness. Everytime, I heard a lot of errors from protestantism about the 3 DOD. What do you think about orthodoxy three days of darkness?

The 3 Days of Darkness are pre-figured by the Days of Darkness upon Egypt at the time of Moses & the Exodus. And the 5th Bowl of Wrath of the Apocalypse describes days of darkness, without numbering them. (Rev 16:10-11) You may already know that. I just find it interesting!

So in acts 15:19 it is James that said "Therefore my judgement..." . and he lays it out in a specific way. It is Peter that silenced the council and basically said we should not put the yoke upon the gentiles. James took his lead from Peter and fleshed out a doctrine. It is the judgement of James in composing something that goes along with what Peter said and includes other things to satisfy some party.
@TheCatholicBrothers

If I’m understanding your comment, I would say “Not quite.” Pay attention to what Peter decides (the actual matter at hand) and what James decides (how to #1 synthesize this decision with Levitical Law and #2 how to tangibly implement the decision in Jerusalem and beyond). The first is the function of the Primate, and the second the function of the canonist. We are not calling for an anachronistic read of Acts 15 where we eisogetically apply later titles and categories to the biblical text, but to merely mark the pattern of authoritative decision-making among the Apostles and to recognize in later superstructures the perpetuation of that same, basic formula.

All the Bishops to this day when they make a declaration at an Ecumenical Council says, “Therefore my judgment…” translation means in his opinion, his view of the subject. He was in agreement with what Peter stated. And if you back up further into Acts it was Peter who given revelation from God about gentiles being brought into the church, he was given revelation by God about dietary laws being done away with and it was Peter who began Apostolic succession with Barnabas. Then Peter formally declared that circumcision is no longer the entrance into the faith by gentiles and then they all fell silent. James was making a prudential decision that was in alignment with what Peter declared. And what Peter declared went against the OT so it was upon Peters authority that he was overriding Scripture as they understand it. It’s the Church through Peters authority given to him by Christ that enables this

@@TheCatholicBrothers Biblical literalism on a holistic or within a flawed selective and applicable process will outweigh the balance of the associated reality in regards to Christian theology, infallibility thereof, due to tradition or scripture. Theological discrepancies applied after a theological event can present serious deviation in terms of theoretical application and interpretation, foreign to its form from inception, I.e. branches of the Church, Islam, Judaism. As we have interpreted, certainly if you’re Catholic nonetheless, or Orthodox, (metaphorically mostly for Protestantism), biblical literalism in our modern day interpretational dialogue, is not the actual and full way of interpreting the word and neither are basic capabilities of deduction prevalent, as we all should walk around eyeless, handless if we’ve sinned, must remove logs out of eyes, must concede to the notion that even the first among equals is actually Satan, etc. We must be careful to assume certainty within the realm of possibility as per the examples above.

@@zealandsword9557 we are not biblical literalists. However, though in another realm it is otherwise, down here the “elevator pitch” is often useful for laity when they work through the tradition, so expounding Acts 15 with attention to patterns of decision-making and demonstrating its congruence with how the Church made decisions thereafter, is useful. That there is more nuance to any given biblical text is a given.

@@TheCatholicBrothers Not necessarily, it depends on who you ask. The premise for interpretational “reality” is subject to bias and contradictory psychological phenomena, which, therefore, is a questionable circulation of theory on its own. We witness this phenomena amongst multiple collective groups claiming divine inspiration, led by the Holy Spirit, yet happen to hold differences in belief, I.e. denominationalism. Factoring in common objective realities adhered to by the west, the human interpretation of the multi dimensional codex of metaphysical theories living in harmony, can be regarded as plausible when studying the capabilities of the human psyche in its ability to conjure up fallacy, and deem it as logic, ultimately stemming from different experiences in life or a philosophically inconsistent theory. The brain can do this to provide a greater means for survivability in accommodation to natural selection, which favours progress, less strain, whether true or false. That being said, the ultimate mediator of whether knowledge is true or false remains in our relationship to the divine realm, the primary mover, as everything would be up for subjection, and it’s our interpretation of the divine, whether true or false that must also come into consideration, as that stems from bias as well. Amongst all the hurdles and barriers one must clear, primarily, in attempt to provide “so called” rational conclusions, or to find truth itself, which is actually confirmed by the divine, it must be exempt from the interpretational flaws humanity maintains, not to mention the major deviation a theory is subject to based on “minor” discrepancies (denominationalism and branches of Christianity.) Therefore, dogma in of itself should be questioned as, multiple contradictions are capable of existing amongst one another in the human mind, (this is even in tandem to the conclusive misconceptions presented by illusions to the senses.) It is dependent on how the senses have accumulated and fashioned data within the mind, (how it has interpreted it based on morality and natural selection, traits) and therefore to begin to even declare our capabilities to rely on patterns a lone in association with founding a fundamental structure of theoretical pillars, the common happenstance of divine interpretation within the biblical era, is even subject to interpretation to a degree. We must be careful to associate Indefinite reality to that which is divine inspiration as the divine realm is immeasurable by human standards. This is where it gets tricky and dogma is associated.

This is absolute nonsense. There were no "canonists" in the first century. Scripture says nothing whatsoever about James writing anything. How is it ok to make up so much stuff? Scripture doesn't even call Acts 15 a "council." Here's what Ken Pennington, a leading canon law scholar at Catholic University of America says: "Although later church fathers, particularly John Chrysostom, did justify conciliar assemblies on the basis of Acts 15, modern scholars have concluded that the assembly described in Acts 15 at Jerusalem cannot be described as a “council” or “synod.” There is no evidence Christians of different communities gathered together to decide matters of discipline or doctrine until the late second century. Nonetheless they undoubtedly regularly resolved questions inside their local communities with congregational assemblies." Even when this comes to be known as a "council" over 350 years into the church, you won't find a single person calling James a "canonist" until around, oh maybe something like the year 2023 on RU-vid.
@TheCatholicBrothers
@TheCatholicBrothers Год назад
In the full episode we said that James’ *function* at the gathering fits the picture of *what we would later* refer to as drafting the canons of a council. The point is that this early “natural” pattern of decision-making provided a blueprint for our later, institutionalized iteration of it. You’re reacting and typing before considering.
@TheCatholicBrothers
@TheCatholicBrothers Год назад
And Pennington’s quote pretty much says the same thing that we’re saying. Albeit, I would say Pennington needs to give more consideration to the synodality that already existed in the structure of the Sanhedrin and other official gathering bodies of the mainstream Temple cult… Pretty clear in this early stage that the Jerusalemite community had formed a kind of parallel Sanhedrin just a stone’s throw away from the High Priest’s palace in the Upper City. Anyway, as Pennington is saying in your quote, what was a perhaps “natural” process for the first century Christians became the blueprint for the synodal tradition of the early Church. Stepping away from history and to ecclesiology, the burden of proof for an alternative model of authoritative decision-making in the church would be on the Protestant side of the debate, as the historic church appears to be imitating the biblical model and the Protestants creating novel ones. Yes?

@@TheCatholicBrothers So are you saying the very idea of magisterial councils emerges through doctrinal development? That is fine...at least it's honest. The Scriptural fact is this is a description of "Apostles and elders" with no evidence whatsoever of Peter being a pope. Even James refers to him by using his familiar, Aramaic name. He doesn't even call him "Petros." The various novel descriptions that seek to impose later history on the Scriptural account are nothing more. Just call it a seed and describe how it evolves. Don't make it into something it's not.

@@ReformingApologetics you’re also overstating the case on the other side of the spectrum. It’s not *that* much later of a development…. The churches are holding regional synods on this pattern immediately in the second century.. Irenaeus of Lyons already insists on the churches having to agree with the Church of Rome due to its association with the premier apostles. And this use of the word “elder,” I fear, is also coloring your reading of the texts. The “elders” (presbyters) of Israel were none other than the priests…. So, this gathering in Acts was more “formal” than you’re likely envisioning, as it was mimicking the gatherings of the priests in the Sanhedrin. There would have been a proper order in the proceedings. Again, among the early Jerusalemite Christians are active, Jewish priests.

Catholics and Protestants have strongly contested on whose authority carried the day at the Jerusalem council. Here is my take, " Shut up Catholic!; Shut up Protestant! And let the people who actually attended the council decide on this one!" Acts 16:4, "The Apostles and the elders= joint decision!!! Only people with ulterior motives will suggest anything else because the Lord made it clear that His kingdom was never to be based on worldly structures of hierarchy (Luke 22:25,26). Peter, himself accurately defines his position in 1 Peter 5:1-4. However, power-hungry people will not stop at anything to introduce self serving ideas!

@@mmbtalk thanks for commenting, my friend. Do you lend any weight to the words and actions of those who either personally knew the men that were there *or* those who knew the men who were companions of the men that were there? Does it matter that Ignatius of Antioch (whose Church had been founded by Peter himself only a generation previous to him, and who himself had contact with the Apostle John) wrote to the Roman Church: “to the church also which holds the presidency, in the location of the country of the Romans, worthy of God, worthy of honor, worthy of blessing, worthy of praise, worthy of success, worthy of sanctification, and, because you hold the presidency in love, named after Christ and named after the Father” (Letter to the Romans 1:1 [A.D. 110]). Irenaeus of Lyons (a companion of Polycarp, who was a companion of the Apostle John) wrote: “But since it would be too long to enumerate in such a volume as this the succession of all the churches, we shall confound all those who, in whatever manner, whether through self-satisfaction or vainglory, or through blindness and wicked opinion, assemble other than where it is proper, by pointing out here the successions of the bishops of the greatest and most ancient church known to all, founded and organized at Rome by the two most glorious apostles, Peter and Paul, that church which has the tradition and the faith which comes down to us after having been announced to men by the apostles. With that church, because of its superior origin, all the churches must agree, that is, all the faithful in the whole world, and it is in her that the faithful everywhere have maintained the apostolic tradition” (Against Heresies 3:3:2 [A.D. 189]). Jesus had promised the gift of the Holy Spirit to the Church, so that we would be led into all truth. So, was the Church (gathered in sacred council in 451 as at Jerusalem in the 1st century) mistaken in her understanding of Acts 15 when they alluded to the Jerusalem council when exclaiming “Peter has spoken through Leo!” ? They clearly have, as the backdrop to that exclamation, the understanding that Peter was the decision-maker at Jerusalem and that Leo had successfully exercised that same authority in their midst with his Tome. Finally, merely pointing out that Peter was the clear decision-maker at Jerusalem and the clear head of the apostles does not in any way contradict Jesus’ admonition that the apostles must not be like the Gentiles and lord their authority over the brethren. Jesus, after all, is a King, and the apostles His emissaries. Kingdoms still have proper order and hierarchy. The only difference here is that the sign of a great Apostle (or bishop, or elder) is that the man filling that office would lead in such a way that he becomes the servant of all. It is actually for this reason that one of the earliest titles of the pope was “Servant of the servants of God.”

Well said, notice Paul and Barnabas already know and dispute against the judaizers in Acts 15 before Peter speaks and James says "I judge concerning the matter" some Catholic apologists including Jimmy Akin openly admit Acts 15 does not do the legwork Rome wants. Paul also makes a point to declare in Scripture that he didn't go to Jerusalem i.e "RCC" to consult and see whether his doctrine was correct. Instead he went to Arabia and when says whoever they were or "seemed" to be they added nothing to his doctrine. He also makes it clear his teaching didn't come from man i.e Peter or a church authority, rather he got it directly from Christ along with his authority as a true apostle.

Any of us can pick some isolated verses and ignore the remainder of the text, load those versus up with the meaning we want to impute to them, and then assert that they prove my position. I'm sorry, but your presentation here is basically dishonest. In Roman Catholicism, "The Papacy" means that there is a single, supreme head of all of the earthly Church who has immediate jurisdiction over every Christian, is infallible, etc. To claim that Acts 15 justifies this is just insane. There is absolutely NOTHING in there that indicates that the Bishop of Rome will have such perpetual authority over the entire Church. Your comparison of the Roman Catholic Church with the various Orthodox Churches is just a category error. There are so many awesome things about the Roman Catholic Church. The more that people like you make arguments for it, though, the more it seems to be built completely upon fallacies. I am really grateful for the many wonderful things I learned and experienced while I was Roman Catholic, but the more that I hear from the current crop of apologists, the more I feel I was fool to join in the first place, let alone stay for almost three decades.

@@achilles4242 I understand and sympathize with your position. Roman apologists often propose to "make an argument for" or even "prove" Papal Supremacy. When pressed--when it has been pointed out that they have failed gloriously to do this--then the fall back is "well, the elements are in place for Papal Supremacy to come to be." They then list these various elements. But compatibility is not evidence that something is the case. Further, there is an unfortunate tendency to gloss over or completely omit elements of incompatibility. We could take nearly any passage from the Bible and assert rightly that it is compatible with Papal Supremacy... or its absence. Let us consider the Acts 15 passage invoked here. What is REALLY being invoked is NOT a plain reading of Acts 15, but a particular interpretation that is largely a reading back into the text something that isn't clearly there in the first place. If one had never heard of Papal Supremacy, I don't know how he would derive from Acts 15 that Peter and all of the later successor bishops in Rome alone have supreme, unilateral, universal authority and also are infallible. The problem, of course, is that it doesn't follow from the fact that Y is compatible with X that Y is the case. Whether Y is the case is another matter, and mere compatibility with X doesn't constitute evidence of Y, let alone an argument or proof for Y. Regarding my rather mean employment of the term "dishonest": I think that it is dishonest and deceptive to assert that compatibility constitutes evidence for a position. Now, it could be claimed that there was no intention of dishonesty or deception. To which I would happily respond, "okay, it was just a simple mistake then, right?" But the apologist's response then is NEVER to admit the error. Rather, he tends to double down on what is clearly an invalid form of reasoning. If I am doubling down on invalid forms of reasoning, them I'm simply being dishonest at that point... and deliberately engaging in deception. I might be sincere. I might even be likable (or not, in my case). But I am still pushing ideas and rationales that are demonstrably invalid. And that's "just not right." :)
