Dr. Brant Pitre discusses the Jewish Roots of the Papacy - Deep in History

In a talk from The Coming Home Network's 2009 Deep in History conference, Scripture scholar Dr. Brant Pitre looks at the history of Jewish Temple worship, and how the language used by Jesus in establishing Peter as the head of the Church in Matthew 16 draws from those traditions. Dr. Pitre looks at what the power to bind and loose looked like in the Davidic monarchy, what Jesus meant by calling Peter a "rock," the meaning of the "keys to the kingdom," and a lot more.

For more of Dr. Pitre's research on this question, we recommend his book "Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist: Unlocking the Secrets of the Last Supper."

As a Protestant investigating Catholicism, this was interesting! 😊

I think I'm ready to come home. Dr. Pitre has been a major deciding factor in this. His teachings have consistently proven the biblical and historical roots of the Catholic Church.

Between the videos of Dr Petre and Steve Ray, I have learned and understood more about the Papacy in three hours than I have in the previous 72 years of my life.
Thank you both.

As a born & raised Jewish atheist, I see that Catholicism is the true church.

My husband, son and I have come to the Catholic Church by God's good grace..Brandt Pitre had been a huge part of the instruction we received on why the Catholic Church is the one true church founded by Christ. .

If Protestants knew the depth and richness of Catholocism, they would all convert today. Dr. Pitre is amazing and I'm glad he can explain complex matters so clearly.

Catholics are so loving when they speak truth…. Never haughty, arrogant or disparaging of where others are at in their faith journey….

[stallioncuts]

I'm a non denominational Christian that leans Catholic and the more I look the further Catholic I lean and this guys teachings and the way he points back to the word make more sense than what the protestants say. I go to a Catholic church and while I can't say that I believe there is a single church on the planet that has it all 100 percent right and I can't say that 100 percent follow the Catholic teachings I think the Catholic church has better understanding than most do and they are still doing gods work.

I have known so many religions, many sects, and i also have listened to their so many preachings and most of them were just commenting and criticizing the Roman Catholic church but i have never left home which is the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.
And the more i listen to this kind of teaching about our Catholic traditions the more i find my heart to be in love with our Catholic faith.
Thank you, Bro. Dr. Brant Pitre for your very beautiful explaination. God bless you always.

How on earth can people deny the truth and the Catholic Church?

[NordenilewelyaAtkinsonTanner]

I wat to to thank the YouTube to make this program available to everyone

[DigitalLogos]

I highly recommend his book 'Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist'; there's some really incredible connections made between the Blessed Sacrament and the Old Testament

[Hopeternal]

Gosh its like i know this yet all these additional facts just have my heart soaring in love for Jesus and our Holy Mother

[lenorman]

Amazing thanks Jesus for persons like Dr Scott Hahn, Steve Ray, Fr Callaway, Fr Saunders of Our Lady of Hope and many others who have deepened my knowledge and understanding of the Church as the bride of Jesus - the Catholic Church and we have to pray so that all Christians are united in this uncertain world. Amen.

As an ex-protestant I believe I'm coming home to Rome, I knew the Eucharist was true, but men like Scott Hahn, Steve Ray, Dr Brant Pitre, the coming home network, Catholic Truth, Catholic answers etc etc, I thank u all.

Now I do see tat the papcy & the Pope the Vicar of Christ, handed down from Jesus to the Apostles Amen.

I'm ready Lord Jesus Christ for the truth & ur Holy Eucharist, pray for me that the holyspirit guides me to the right church, I just wanna go home to heaven lord Jesus. Thank u guy God bless u all 🙏🏼💯☦

Dr. Brant Pitre is truly one of the finest scholars today, and always presents the most compelling lectures. This one was really interesting, as it opens up a whole new understanding to the Papacy.
