Who are the modern-day successors of the Apostles?
A:The Church considers its bishops to be the successors of the apostles. At first, there was no particular bishop designated as the specific successor to Peter. Pope Anicetus (156-166), during the course of a theological argument with the venerable Polycarp of Smyrna, claimed that Peter had travelled to Rome to lead the Christians there and had been beheaded in Rome, meaning that he (Anicetus) spoke with the authority of Peter. From this time forward, the bishops of Rome increasingly insisted that they were the successors of St Peter, until it is now an article of faith that they are.

Was Peter chosen by the bishops to become the pope?
Peter was chosen by Christ as the leader of His apostles and His church (see Gospel according to Matthew, Ch 16, V 18). Tradition has each Pope as the successor of Saint Peter, as the other Bishops, Archbishops and Cardinals are successors of the Apostles. So, each Pope assumes the role of Saint Peter as leader of the Church. St. Peter's is built over the necropolis (city of the dead, or cemetery), where the bones of Saint Peter were buried after he was crucified on Vatican Hill. So, the Church really is built upon Saint Peter, just as Christ had said.
