We present a new series of articles, as a training course, on the Petrine Ministry (or Papacy).
It is about offering the foundations that we find in the Bible and in the history of the Church on the ministry and service of the Pope to the Church.
¿Por qué?
Catholics have a very important identity characteristic: we feel uniquely united to Jesus Christ through his Church, guided by the Pope, Peter’s successor.
That communion, moreover, is with the Pope, be it Peter, John, Benedict or Francis.
We, Bloggers with the Pope, feel a call, by way of service, to spread and promote the doctrine and mission of the Pope (whatever it may be at any time).
But it is no less important to substantiate why we do that. For this, this simple tool that is this course
And why now?
We are not oblivious to what is happening in the Church and we believe that right now it is necessary to be even more united than ever around the Pope.
