Commentary on the Prerogatives of Blessed Peter, Prince of the Apostles - Charles Passaglia

Commentary on the Prerogatives of Blessed Peter, Prince of the Apostles by Carlo Passaglia is a scholastic and biblical study of the apostle Peter and the special authority entrusted to him by Christ. Drawing upon Scripture, the Church Fathers, and theological reasoning, Passaglia examines the foundations of Petrine primacy within the Church.

A central concern of the work is the unique prerogatives granted to Peter, including his primacy among the apostles, his role as the rock of the Church, and his office as shepherd of the universal flock. Passaglia argues that these privileges were intended not merely for Peter personally but for his successors in the Roman See.

The work also addresses objections to papal primacy and analyzes key biblical passages concerning Peter's authority. Overall, it provides a systematic defense of the Catholic doctrine of the papacy and its roots in apostolic tradition.
