Fulton Sheen Proves the Papacy from Scripture | The Primacy of St. Peter

About this sermon

Did Jesus establish St. Peter as the visible head of His Church? In this timeless teaching, Venerable Fulton J. Sheen carefully walks through Matthew 16, Luke 22, John 21, and other biblical passages to explain why Catholics believe that Jesus entrusted the leadership of His Church to St. Peter and his successors. Sheen explores: • Why Christ founded one visible Church • Peter as the Rock upon which Christ built His Church • The meaning of the Keys of the Kingdom • Binding and loosing authority • The biblical foundation of the Papacy • The role of the Pope as Vicar of Christ • Why the Church has remained one throughout history This powerful lecture remains one of the clearest explanations of the Catholic understanding of the Papacy and apostolic succession. 00:00 Introduction 00:08 The Church as the Mystical Body of Christ 00:58 Peter's Primacy Explained 02:01 Why Every Living Body Has a Visible Head 04:08 Three Forms of Church Government 05:48 The Failure of Democracy in Determining Truth 07:02 Why Christ Did Not Establish an Aristocracy 08:06 Peter's Confession of Faith 09:01 Was the Church Built on Peter or His Faith? 10:00 "Blessed Art Thou" 11:37 Simon Bar-Jona and Divine Revelation 13:19 "Thou Art Peter" 14:24 Christ the Eternal Rock 16:09 Peter as the Visible Rock 18:02 "I Will Build My Church" 19:36 The Gates of Hell Shall Not Prevail 21:07 The Keys of the Kingdom 22:05 Binding and Loosing Authority 23:15 Christ Prays for Peter Alone 25:34 Peter and the Temple Tax 27:03 Feed My Lambs, Feed My Sheep 28:25 Peter's Crucifixion in Rome 29:06 The Foundation of the Church 29:47 Where Peter Is, There Is the Church From his catechism series.
