Why is Petrine primacy known to popes as the primacy of the Bishop of Rome?
The reason that Petrine primacy is known to popes as the primacy of the Bishop of Rome is because it is generally accepted in the Roman Catholic cultural tradition that St. Peter (whose name is the root of the word “Petrine”) was the first pope and the founder of the first Christian church in Rome, Italia circa A.D. 56.
