Episode 57: Primacy of Peter, Leo the Great & The Shift to Papal Supremacy
In this first of three episodes on the Dark Ages Pastor Greg Axe of Crest Bible Church continues with us on the topic of Church History. We begin at about the 5th century with Pope Innocent I who claimed universal dominion for The Bishop of Rome. We then look at Pope Leo the Great’s claim to channel Peter the Apostle. Leo's religiopolitical position contributed greatly to the rise of Papal Authority.
Check out Axe’s book—Church History, which outlines the history of the church from the Acts of the Apostles to the present day.
