WELCOME ST. JOHN NEUMANN
-Thanks to the efforts of the Holy Name Society, we were able to complete the task of raising our altar by just under 4 inches. One of the chief benefits of raising the altar is that we were able to in-sert a relic into the altar. The relic is of St. John Neumann, who was ordained a priest here in NY in the old St. Patrick’s Cathe-dral. -Traditionally, all altars have an ‘altar stone’ with a relic in it (which the Priest kisses before and after Mass) and it is a great honor to have such a great saint here at Holy Family.

BEGINNING APOLOGETICS 1
APOSTOLIC AUTHORITY
PETER AND THE PAPACY
SCRIPTURE CONTINUED
Also know Lk 22:31-32 and John 21:1517. In the
passage from St. Luke, Jesus prays that Peter's faith would
not fail; Peter in turn would strengthen the other disciples. In
the passage from St. John, Jesus clearly makes Peter the
shepherd of His Church. So, St. Peter is the rock on which
Christ builds His Church. He is given the "keys of the King-
dom;" and he is made shepherd of Christ's flock: solid bibli-
cal evidence that Jesus made St. Peter the first Pope. The popes are Christ's vicars, the visible and earthly heads of
Christ's Church while Christ is the invisible and supreme
head. Be familiar with Acts 15. This gives an account of
the first Church council, the Council of Jerusalem. Called at
the request of St. Paul, this council met to decide whether
Gentiles had to follow the Law of Moses as well as the Law
of Christ. Notice that there was much discussion among the Apostles and presbyters. However, after Peter spoke, the as-
sembly fell silent. His statement ended the discussion. This
council obviously considered St. Peter's authority final. Some
Fundamentalists claim Acts shows that James, not Peter, was
the head of the Church. Since James the Less (not James, the
brother of John) gives the concluding remarks at the council
of Jerusalem and also recommends some marriage and die-
tary regulations for the Gentiles, they conclude that James
must be the head of the Church. We must remind Fundamentalists to read the Gos-
pels, where St. Peter is unmistakably presented as a leader
among the Apostles, whereas St. James the Less is not. Ask Fundamentalists to read the first twelve chapters of Acts,
which describe the early Church in Jerusalem. Every chapter
(except 6 and 7, which describe Stephen's martyrdom) shows
St. Peter in a leadership position while St. James appears only briefly, and never in a leadership role. In Galatians 1:18-19,
we are told that Paul went to Jerusalem after his conversion
specifically to confer with Peter. He stayed with Peter 15 days. In con-
trast, Paul visited James only briefly during this time. At the
council of Jerusalem in Acts 15, it was St. Peter's statements
that settled the serious doctrinal dispute that was the reason
for the council. As we saw earlier, St. Peter's statements si-
lenced the assembly of presbyters and the Apostles (including
St. James). As an Apostle, St. Peter certainly considers his au-
thority to be greater than that of an ordinary elder. After all,
St. Peter goes on to admonish these "fellow elders" (1 Pet 5:2
-4) as one having authority over them. In calling them fellow
elders, St. Peter is simply acknowledging the obvious: like himself, they are also Church leaders. For Fundamentalists to
insist that Peter, as an Apostle, had no greater authority than
an ordinary elder, shows how little they appreciate what
Scripture says about the great office of Apostle.
