The Catholic Church claims their current pope is a direct descendant, in an unbroken chain, of popes that began with the apostle Peter.
As we pointed out in the previous article, the Bible makes no mention of Peter being the first pope, or a pope of any kind, at all.
The Church claims that Linus was Pope #2. While the Bible mentions Linus in passing, there is no mention of his being the second pope, or any kind of overseer for that matter.
