The Catholic Church teaches that Peter was the first Pope and the Pope has complete authority over the Church on earth. Ground zero for this teaching comes from Matthew 16:18: "I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church." We magnify this Scripture, its context, other passages in the New Testament, and history, to determine if the Bible supports Papal authority.
