D. Bercot.
The Roman Catholic Church claims that Peter was the first pope. It further claims that the pope, or bishop of Rome, has been vested with primary authority over all other Christians as “Christ’s vicar on earth.” The Catholic Church also claims that the pope is infallible when defining matters of faith and morals.
