Notes:

Papal Supremacy. What is Papal Supremacy? How is it different than the principle of first among equals? Can one bishop have power over other bishops? Can there be two bishops over the same church or jurisdiction?


Bishop of Rome
Bishop of Constantinople
Bishop of Alexandria

Principle of conciliarity. What does this mean?

What happened at the First Apostolic Council of Jerusalem? Did Petrine Primacy take first seat or was it James who spoke as the local Bishop of Jerusalem?

What was Saint Cyprian's claim that every bishop possesses the keys of Peter? What does this mean for the local Bishops and the Church?

What is Sacramental Catholicity vs Jurisdicitional Catholicty?


What is the Donation of Constantine?

What is Ecclesiological Legalism?
