The Successor of Peter has a special task. It was Peter who, on the Apostles’ behalf, made the first profession of faith: You are Christ, the Son of the living God. (Mt 16.16) This is the task of all of Peter’s Successors: to be the guide in the profession of faith in Christ, Son of the living God. The Chair of Rome is above all the Seat of this belief. From high up on this cathedra the Bishop of Rome must never cease to proclaim: DOMINUS IESUS, Jesus is Lord.--Benedict XVI, St. John Lateran’s Basilica, 7 May 2005
