The Origins of the Papacy

The Papal monarchy is an institution with ancient roots. Presently the head of the Roman Catholic Church and the Vatican City State, prior to the Protestant Reformation, the Papacy was previously the head of the entire Western (Latin) church and ruled directly over a much larger Papal State. Prior to the Eastern Orthodox schism, the Papacy often made good its claim to be the head of the entire Christian world - claims with historic precedents dating back to at least the 2nd and 3rd centuries. The Papacy claims roots that go back even further to authority given by the historic Jesus to the historic Peter. John Hamer of Toronto Centre Place will review the basis for these claims and the historical evidence for the earliest Christian communities in Rome.

I just learned everything on earth except how did the office of the papacy originate.

I’ve heard this history as taught by Eastern Orthodox teachers. The narrative is very distinct from this telling. This isn’t a bad telling of history, just a very Rome-centered one. There is another viewpoint valuable to have under your belt.

Self coronation was the ancient ritual of the east! The byzantine emperors did it, the russian czars did it, the orthodox kings did it! Napoleon simply carried it on!

Those who were not born into royalty but wanted to be kings= papacy.

The Avignon popes got most of their funding from a system of international “taxation” rather from indulgences. One reason for the Schisms was that so much money went from the Latin principalities to a French City. Hence the desire to get the pope to return to Rome. That and the need to restore order to the papal states.

There is a tomb beneath the altar at St. Peters. It is part of a grouping of mausoleums that occupied Vatican Hill before the church was built. It was excavated (the "scavi") prior to WWII. I saw the tomb for myself, back when the Vatican used to do underground tours. They found nothing in the tomb that definitively linked this tomb with St. Peter. The only human remains in the tomb were the bones of a single hand, and those were hidden behind a stone in one of the tomb's walls. The bones were consistent with being dated to around St. Peter's time but that is the scant evidence to whose tomb this may be.

What an amazing job! I stumbled on your channel by chance while scrolling down the KZfaq timeline. It was very late, though. So, I watched just half of your brilliant presentation yesterday and now I'm watching the second half. Thank you for this real gift. I wish more people in my country could understand spoken English so they could benefit from videos like this. ❤ Sincere greetings all the way from Rio. 🤗

Thank you again for an amazing lecture. Having listened to a number of previous ones, I was able to follow without having to go back too many times. I agree with those who say your non-judgmental delivery makes it more believable. 😮 No agenda to try and discern.

I love your fluid, informal style. It clearly masks your deeply informed, scholarly and enviably erudite knowledge of your subject. I do like accuracy! I was hooked from the word "go".
