全文听写（以音频为标准），英式拼写
       

        Hints:
          
        Peter
        罗嗦一下，最近几期里bishop特指罗马主教时首字母大写，否则不用大写。（不影响正确率所以你也可以不管它）
重复不写。受访者时态不统一，按听到的写。有些句子他说得不完整但是不影响理解，按听到的写就好，我实在断句无能了。
00:33的authorities怀疑口误，因为authority作“权力”讲的时候应该是不可数的，不过大家还是按听到的写。
         
So what was the early church in Rome really like?
Initially, you can safely say it was an unorganised heap of people. And hardly any structure's there. A large group, a growing group within the city of Rome, but not united. And there are differences of opinion about how to worship, where to worship. And gradually, eventually, you have those single figures of authority rising to the fore. The Bishop, who can pull it all together.
So where did the early Bishops of Rome get their authorities from?
From a fairly early point onwards, they're beginning to place themselves in one line with the Apostle, Peter, who was the right hand of Christ, who supposedly was the first Bishop of Rome. Where that tradition comes from is not entirely clear, but that tradition, "I'm the successor to Peter", gives them an enormous source of authority.
