Abstract
The most divisive issue in the modern Christian world stems from each particular church’s stance on the role and authority of the Bishop of Rome. Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant scholars all explain the phenomenon of the Roman Pope in their own distinct way. I seek to discover and engage arguments and explanations written by prominent Catholic, Orthodox, Evangelical, and Anglican writers. Ultimately, I concluded that the Roman Catholic view is most likely to be true.
