| 0:00.0 | You're listening to Catholic Sprouts, the daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith. |
| 0:37.8 | Hey there, Sproutsz. Today is Tuesday, April 26th, 2020. Now this week on the Catholic Sprouds podcast, we are continuing to celebrate the Easter season by looking at the very early church. Yesterday we talked about the person we have to talk about for Catholic history. |
| 0:42.8 | We have to begin with. |
| 0:44.3 | And that is Jesus Christ because he founded our church. |
| 0:49.3 | So like we said yesterday, Jesus not only established the sacraments and started the church, he also gave us a leader. |
| 0:56.9 | And that leader was Peter. |
| 1:00.2 | Early on in the gospel, before Jesus went to Jerusalem to die, he told Peter that he would be given the keys to heaven, and that he would have authority. |
| 1:13.7 | And it is the same authority that Peter practiced that has been passed down from Peter |
| 1:20.6 | to his successor and each person that has followed all the way down to Pope Francis. Now there are a lot of important things that we |
| 1:30.9 | can say about Peter and about the Pope, but the first thing we need to know is that Peter was not |
| 1:37.7 | the leader of the early church because he was elected or because he was the smartest or strongest person. |
| 1:46.1 | He was the leader of the early church because Jesus named him the leader. |
| 1:51.7 | And even after he became the leader of the early church, Peter wasn't perfect. |
| 1:57.0 | After he received the Holy Spirit on Pentecost, he became very brave. |
| 2:01.6 | We have many of his very beautiful speeches recorded in the Acts of the Apostles. |
| 2:07.6 | But we know that he remained imperfect. |
| 2:10.6 | But the reason why the church needed a leader is because although Christ had spent years teaching and doing miracles, there was still things |
| 2:19.3 | that the early church wasn't aware of, and that they needed a leader to make decisions about. |
| 2:25.2 | For example, while Jesus was here, he had mostly just ministered and evangelized the Jewish people, |
| 2:32.3 | but as he went up into heaven through the ascension, he ordered his |
| 2:36.7 | followers to go out to all nations. And so this included all the Gentiles, the pagans, people that at the |
| 2:44.8 | time the Jews didn't even know existed. And as they went out to these other people, there were all sorts of questions |
