Video- Was the first Pope really Peter?
Apostolic Succession debunked-
The Church today claims that they have a direct lineage of Popes, going all the way back to the disciple Peter. However, the truth is, that there is no real evidence to support this. In fact, from what we know about history from that time period, it is hardly even possible any Pope could be directly connected to Peter. The first "Pope" did not exist until the second century at the earliest. Here is an informative article about this issue- http://atheism.about.com/od/popesandthepapacy/a/peterpope.htm
