What is it that you hold onto so tightly that keeps you from receiving what Jesus wants to give you?

@Archangeloftheandes As Jews. ^.^ Justin Martyr, an ancient historian who wrote to the Roman emperor about the Christians, actually answers your question. Look him up, and he can give you a historical perspective.

@hokyfenoky Yes the Pope is human and yes he is capable of error. But God is not capable of error and He promised Peter that the gates of hell would not prevail against him. He gave Peter the power to bind and loose. Matt 16:13-20. Now everyone knows that Jesus is the head of the Church, but since Jesus is not physically present on Earth, He gave Peter the keys. But what would happen when Peter died? Someone would succeed him :) Catholicisgood has a good post on infallibility.

@hokyfenoky Kepha means rock, and I do believe when Jesus said "upon this rock I will buld my church" he meant it. Pope Benedict has stated himself to be a servant of God. Respectfully, we do not worship the pope. Infallability is applied only to statements made Ex Cathedra and has seldomly been used. The conditions for infallability are often misunderstood. The pope and the magesterium's primary function is to safeguard the truth and proclaim the truth of the Gospel.

@Catholicisgood Jesus is THE Rock, and the revelation Peter had that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God is what Jesus has built His church upon. Peter was a minister of the gospel of grace through faith in Jesus and an apostle, planting churches to spread the good news. The Pope, respectfully, is just a minister of the same - not to be worshiped and not infallible, as he is human and capable of error.

Beautiful story indeed. I am from Crete myself and i felt quite touched. I also appreciate the effort of the Priest to popularize morals and approach youth but the amount of Blasphemy used here could be reduced a bit lol.
