In this latest Papal Snapshot, we cover the extraordinary descriptions of St. Peter and his preeminent authority among the Apostles by St. John Chrysostom, one of the greatest 4th century Church Fathers. His words have extraordinary implications for papal authority, and come from his "Homily on the Holy Martyr, St. Ignatius of Antioch."
