That's THE BEST explanation I have ever heard on this passage regarding Petros and the Keys.

@crossingthetrail5630 6 years ago

So we have Pitre talking about Petra and Petros.

I have been following Dr Pitre's lectures on catholic production and I thank the Lord for him , as i have never understood so well about our Catholic Faith till now. Especially to be able to defend my Catholic Faith against Protestanism Fundamentalist.
May the Lord and Our Blessed Mother Bless You Dr Pitre.

"Lot going on in this passage " what an understatement!

I always get chills up my spine when even priests quote people like Hahn, Steve Ray or Dr Pitre. Just amazing

A huge gift of communicating the mysteries of Christ.

I can't hear this enough of this topic and every time Dr Pitre talks about it, I learn more of the context that supports the conclusions and defeats my prior beliefs in the Calvinist church. Thank you so much.

He’s so sharp, I’m so glad to have Pitre in my Catholic arsenal. May God continue to bless you

Quite a long sermon for today, but pack with actions, explanations, and clarity of words.
I felt like eating honey, sweet in the tounge. As gentle in taste just like milk.

Thanks Dr. Petri, it’s a perfect score. You are the Best!..

My faith is always in the Rock in which Jesus instituted to Peter, and to the generation of Priests and Bisphop..I know, with this faith this will lead me to the Lord Jesus the Christ, the Son of Living God..

Thank you for your scholarly work, Dr. Pitre. As one born & raised Jewish, taught the Hebrew Scriptures by my Bubbie, the only one in my family who believed in and knew God the Father, these teachings are invaluable to underpin my Catholic faith even more. And these teachings are gorgeous. May God bless you richly for your service. 🙏

These videos are ALL so good, but like Peter among the apostles, this episode stands out, over and above nearly all other episodes. The clarity with which Dr. Pitre teaches, and the connections he makes all along the way are nothing short of magnificent. Well done! Bravo!!

That commentary is just brilliant. This man is one of the most gifted scholars of the Bible that I have ever heard.The explanations are from a different planet. May God bless him and his family for expounding the scriptures to us and may God give him a long life.
