Upon this Rock

Where is a “pope” mentioned in the Bible?

Why do we need a mere man to lead the Church—can’t we all just follow Jesus?

Did the early Christians recognize that Peter and his successors possessed special authority?

In 20 Answers: The Papacy you’ll find smart, solid answers to these questions and many more.

20 Answers: The Papacy examines the evidence for the Petrine office found in Scripture, early Christian writings, and the Church’s long practice. It explains in clear and friendly language how the papacy is not only biblical and historical, but essential for preserving Christian unity of belief.

The 20 Answers series from Catholic Answers offers hard facts, compelling arguments, and clear explanations of the most important topics facing the Church and the world—all in a compact, easy-to-read package.

    Defends the Papacy from many angles

    Posted by Unknown on Jun 3rd 2025

    The digital version includes multiple formats. It works on my computer. I happen to have the physical book also and it contains very good answers about why we have a Pope and detailed responses to challenges to our belief in the Papacy. It is great these books are being promoted at a time when people have an interest in the Catholic Papacy. Customer service was helpful in making sure my book was delivered when I had a question about delivery.
