Summary/Abstract: Seen from various ecumenical perspectives the question in the title seems to have an eternal character. One side tries to prove the primacy upon biblical texts by stretching them pretty far, and others try to disprove it by stretching them even further. We should not forget that all of them have the Holy Scripture as their common source and their interpretations can be very different. How is the view from a recent Catholic ecumenical perspective with regard to the Biblical foundation of the primacy? This paper seeks to answer the question from the perspective of scriptural foundation and its modern interpretations which can provide a starting point for ecumenical rapprochement. The paper is limited to ecumenical emphases from the Catholic interpretation. In the Biblical aspect of seeking there is distinction between direct and indirect texts that prove the establishment of Petrine ministry.
