This is a very complex doctrine that says that the Pope's successor is a legitimate office and that the Bishops of Rome were to choose that successor. What makes it complex from a theological point of view is that Peter was (it is believed) the Bishop of Antioch and it was on him that Christ proclaimed his church. So the succession could be argued to be the Bishop of Antioch to the present should have been the Pope. All of this is based on Matthew 16:17 - 19 if you are at all interested. It is a very famous verse.

Not only that there is another problem. It took 150 years for the Papacy to be established and some time after that to declare how it should be done.

Cloud [144]

<span>Hughes seems sarcastic because the language that he uses is sarcastic. He is aggravated over the treatment of African Americans in Harlem at that time. He directs his sarcasm toward white people. He is aggravated that there are still many places that African American's cannot go (clubs), including a club called the Cotton Club. His feelings are justified because discrimination was alive and well during this time period.</span>
