A further comment on the primacy of Peter:

Of the four Gospels, one is attributed to St. John, brother (actually cousin)
of Jesus, while the other three are the synoptic Gospels, which build upon
eachother.  The first of the synoptic Gospels is the Gospel of Mark.  From
this comes Matthew and Luke, written for the Jews and Gentiles respectively.
The thing many don't realize is that the Gospel of Mark was written from
the teachings of St. Peter.  I find it a bit odd that those who wish to
take the Gospel literally without further Church teaching deny the primacy of
he who taught what he heard from the Lord.

Just a thought,

Michael
