Abstract

The problem of papal primacy is one the most fragile issues between Catholics and Protestants. The author of the article discusses the possibility of a separation of the primacy of jurisdiction from the primacy of teaching. The method of reasoning follows the one of St. Thomas: first the arguments pro are given, and later the arguments contra. The arguments are from Catholic theology, Lutheran theology and philosophy. The answer is given from Ecumenical Perspective.
