Pope Shenouda III

Christ also gave the Apostles the keys of heaven.
He said to St. Peter, representing the Apostles: "And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven" (Matt.16:19). And He said to the Apostles: "whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven" (Matt. 18:18). Here, we ask a question: Who has the authority to give the keys of the kingdom of heaven to people and give them the authority to bind and loose there except God Himself?
