Sažetak
The issue of Peter and Pope's primacy has become increasingly present in theological disputes and researches in the recent decades. It has also become the main ecumenical problem. It is significant that all the great Christian Churches and numerous theologians have been concerned with the problem. The doctrine of the New testament scriptures about the role of St Peter in the group of the Twelve and in the early Church has been repeatedly revealed and depended. The entire New Testament corpus has been analyses in details, thus going beyond those Peter's passages (Mt 16, 16-23; Lk 22, 32; Jn 21, 15-19). The issue of succession of that „position“ in the post-apostolic Church has become a core problem. There is also an additional problem, „constitutionality of Church“, i.e. how and in which way Christ wanted his Church to be founded and which services are really constitutive and, in that way „handed down“ by succession and will remain such till the end of time. One of such services is the „service of unity“, as Christ prayed and left is will to us: „Father, may they be one in us, as you are in me and I am in you, so that the world may belive it was you who sent me“.
