Bushe Petro E Wali Papa wa Kubalilapo?

Ukufuma fye na kale baKatolika, pa kulangilila ukuti icalici lyakuulilwe pali Petro, balanda amashiwi ayo Yesu alandile pali Mateo 16:18, ayatila: “Ni we Petro, kabili pali ici cilibwe e po nkakuula icilonganino candi.” Na kuba aya yene mashiwi yalilembwa na mu lulimi lwa ciLatini pe calici lya mu Rome ilya St. Peter’s Basilica.

Augustine, uwalelemba pa mafundisho ye calici uo bacindikisha sana, na o inshita imo alemona kwati umufula wa cilonganino ni Petro. Nomba ilyo aali mupepi no kufwa, alyalwile ifyo alemona umwalolele amashiwi ayalandile Yesu. Mwi buuku ilyo Augustine alembele ilya kuti Retractations, alilondolwele ukuti pali Yesu e po icalici, nangu ulukuta lwa Bena Kristu lwakuulilwe, te pali Petro iyo.a

Kwena cishinka ukuti Petro balimulandapo sana mu mabuuku ya Mbila Nsuma. Pa batumwa bakwe bonse, Yesu asalilepo fye batatu, Yohane, Yakobo, na Petro, e bamweneko fimo fimo ifyacitike ifyo abatumwa bambi abashala bashamwene. (Marko 5:37, 38; 9:2; 14:33) Yesu alipeele Petro “amakii ya bufumu bwa mu muulu” ayo Petro abomfeshe ukwiswila abantu aba kwingila mu Bufumu; ababalilepo baYuda na bapilibukiile ku mipepele ya baYuda, e lyo pakonkele abena Samaria, na balekelesheko Bena fyalo. (Mateo 16:19; Imilimo 2:5, 41; 8:14-17; 10:45) Petro calemwangukila ukulanda na bantu, e calengele ukuti limo limo aleba inkombe ya batumwa bonse. (Imilimo 1:15; 2:14) Nomba bushe ifi twalandapo kuti fyalenga aaba umutwe wa cilonganino ca kubalilapo?

Umutumwa Paulo alilembele pali Petro ukuti balimupeele “amaka ya kuba umutumwa ku basembululwa.” (Abena Galatia 2:8) Amashiwi ya kwa Paulo aya kubalilapo na yakonkapo pali ici cikomo tayalangilila ukuti Petro e waletungulula icilonganino. Ifyalandile Paulo fyalelangilila fye umulimo uo Petro apeelwe uwa kushimikila abaYuda.

Nangu ca kuti Petro balimupeele umulimo uukalamba, mu Baibolo tamwaba apo umwine alanda ukuti e mutwe wa cilonganino uwaletungulula abasambi bonse. Muli kalata iyo alembele, alandile fye ukuti aali “mutumwa” kabili “umukalamba,” capwa no kupwa.—1 Petro 1:1; 5:1.
