Proof of Papal Supremacy

1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Caritas patiens est, benigna est. Caritas non aemulatur, non agit perperam, non inflatur, non est ambitiosa, non quaerit quae sua sunt, non irritatur, non cogitat malum, non gaudet super iniquitate, congaudet autemveritati: omnia suffert, omnia credit, omnia sperat, omnia sustinet.

⁴Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant

⁵or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;

⁶it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth.

⁷It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

~(1 corinthians 13:4-8) NRSVCE

The first thing to understand is that the term brother (Gk. adelphos) has a broader meaning than uterine brothers. It can mean a biological brother, but it can also mean an extended relative, or even a spiritual brother.

Take Genesis 13:8 for example. Here the word brother is being used to describe the relationship between Abraham and Lot, who were not biological brothers but uncle and nephew

Because of the Bible’s broad semantic range of “brother,” we can rest assured that although St. Paul writes, “[Jesus] appeared to more than five hundred…brothers at the same time” (1 Cor. 15:6), we need not infer from this verse that Mary gave birth to more than 500 children!

James and Joseph (also called Joses), who are called Jesus’ “brothers” (Mark 6:3) are indeed the children of Mary—Just not Mary, the mother of Jesus.

James and Joseph (also called Joses), who are called Jesus’ “brothers” (Mark 6:3) are indeed the children of their Mothers who are called Mary— but Just not Mary, the mother of Jesus.

After St. Matthew’s account of the crucifixion and death of Jesus, he writes:

“There were also many women there, looking on from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him; among who were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.” (Matt. 27:56; see also Mark 15:40).

These “brothers” are never once called the children of Mary, although Jesus himself is (John 2:1; Acts 1:14).

For those Idiotic Protestants who still Accuse Our Blessed Mother of Not Being a Virgin .

First take a look at the bible.....
1 Corinthians 15:6 (NRSVCE)

⁶Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died.

OBVIOUSLY JESUS DIDN'T HAVE 500 BROTHERS .

The reason being the New Testament was written in Greek and ... Greek and Aramaic Both have No Word equivalent for "Cousin". And they substitute the word Brother(Adelphos) as the closest possible term . Even today in English we Call People "Bro" or "Brother" , This not make them Our Real Uterine brothers Obviously 😁. So this is again Protestants being Stupid .

Even Calvin used to establish the fact of Mary’s perpetual virginity, which he believed (based primarily on Scripture alone),as did Luther, Zwingli, Bullinger, and many later prominent, theologically conservative, and scholarly Protestants (such as John Wesley).

By comparing Matthew 27:56, Mark 15:40, and John 19:25, we find
that James and Joseph — mentioned in Matthew 13:55 with Simon and
Jude as Jesus’ “brothers” — are also called sons of Mary, wife of
Clopas. This other Mary (Matthew 27:61, 28:1) is called our Lady’s adelphe in John 19:25 (it isn’t likely that there were two women
named “Mary” in one family — thus even this usage apparently means
“cousin” or more distant relative).


"ἀδελφοί / αδελφός" (adelphoi/Adelphous) may have well been the Word used for "Brothers/Brother" in Greek Both for Blood brothers and Cousins . But when "συγγενεῦσιν" (syngeneusin) is Applied.... It always Means A Cousin or Relative And Never and a Blood Brother!!


Matthew 13:55-56 and Mark 6:3
mention Simon, Jude, and “sisters” along with James and Joseph,
calling all adelphoi. Since we know for sure that at least James and
Joseph are not Jesus’ blood brothers, the most likely interpretation of
Matthew 13:55 is that all these “brothers” are cousins, according to the linguistic conventions discussed above.

At Chalcedon, Pope St Leo the Great was the one who drafted the main document, the Tome, and it was widely hailed by the bishops in attendance as masterful defense of orthodoxy. Pope Leo the Great's authoritative role at the council exemplifies the recognition of Roman Supremacy. His "Tome" was accepted as a standard of orthodoxy, and his legates presided over the council, affirming the pope's authority . To Quote Session II of the Acts of the Council records:

“After the reading of the foregoing epistle [The Tome of Leo], the most reverend bishops cried out: ‘This is the faith of the fathers! This is the faith of the apostles! So we all believe! Thus the orthodox believe! Anathema to him who does not thus believe! Peter has spoken thus through Leo! . . . This is the true faith! Those of us who are orthodox thus believe! This is the faith of the Fathers!’” (Acts of the Council, session 2 [A.D. 451]).

Papal Supremacy at the Council of Chalcedon ☝️☝️

Papal Supremacy has always been there since the early Church. But sadly the orthodoxes aren't able to grasp it's true meaning. The Pope is Servei Servum Dei. The successor of the Prince of the Apostles.

Papal supremacy at Third Council of Constantinople (The 6th ecumenical council )

Papal supremacy by Agatho at the 6th ecumenical council (Third Council of Constantinople). Interesting.

The Eastern fathers at the 6th ecumenical council believed Pope St. Agatho taught papal infallibility. They acknowledged that Agatho's letter was divinely written and St. Peter spoke through him:

"For the ancient city of Rome handed thee a ▶️CONFESSION OF DIVINE CHARACTER,◀️ and a chart from the sunsetting raised up the day of dogmas, and made the darkness manifest, and ▶️PETER SPOKE THROUGH AGATHO◀️ Peter spoke through Agatho, and thou, O autocratic King, according to the divine decree, with the Omnipotent Sharer of thy throne, didst judge." (The Third Council of Constantinople: The Prosphoneticus to the Emperor, 348)

“..and we acknowledge that this letter was ▶️DIVINELY WRITTEN AS BY THE CHIEF OF THE APOSTLES◀️, and through it we have cast out the heretical sect of many clement scepter.” (Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, vol. 14,)
