In it, he saw the keys as pertaining to "everyone" if they "made confession", rather than according to the modern interpretation concerning the bishops of Rome alone. Tertullian later retracted even this association in De Pudecitia, [26] listing various reasons why the Keys of Peter pertained to Peter alone. The churches later declared him an ...
The Vatican's own claims to the Keys as a heraldic statement are limited to the 14th century. [4] Many Christians point out that Jesus uses much the same language in John 20:23 and therefore conferred some or all of the same powers on all the Apostles. On this basis, Eastern Orthodox believe that the power of the keys is conferred on all ...
The same keys given to Peter in Matthew 16 are given to the whole church of believers in Matthew 18. [241] Oscar Cullmann, a Lutheran theologian and distinguished Church historian, disagrees with Luther and the Protestant reformers who held that by "rock" Christ did not mean Peter, but meant either himself or the faith of His followers.

A distinction that petros meant a stone and petra a solid piece of rocky ground is sometimes suggested, but Greek use in antiquity seems to have been less ...
The two main paradigms are (1) the iterated learning model and (2) the language game model. Iterated learning focuses on transmission from generation to generation, typically with just one agent in each generation. [65] In the language game model, a whole population of agents simultaneously produce, perceive and learn language, inventing novel ...
At this same Council, an attempt at compromise was made when the bishop of Constantinople was given a primacy of honour only second to that of the bishop of Rome, because "Constantinople is the New Rome". Roman papal authorities rejected this language since it did not clearly recognize Rome's claim to juridical authority over the other churches ...
The scene, part of the series of the Stories of Jesus on the chapel's northern wall, is a reference to Matthew 16 [2] in which Jesus says he will give "the keys of the kingdom of heaven" to Saint Peter. [3] These keys represent the power to forgive and to share the word of God thereby giving them the power to allow others into heaven.
