"Pope Pius XII wonderfully testified to the immanent or internal principle of unity in the souls of the just being that of the power of the Holy Spirit which binds the members of Christ together. But it must not be thought that by this there is no place for an external criterion for the visibility of the Church, in particular the Church's mediatorial function. Just as the Holy Spirit was poured out on mankind not without the mediation of the visible apostolic office on the day of Pentecost, so likewise the Spirit internally unifies the Church not without the divinely established visible hierarchical government, whose head is the successor of St. Peter. There is no denial of the immanent principle of the Holy Spirit ruling and sanctifying to consolidate the baptized together, but, as Pius XII made clear, 'We must not think that He rules only in a hidden or extraordinary manner. On the contrary, our Redeemer also governs His Mystical Body in a visible and normal way through His Vicar on earth.' As will be shown, this principle is eminently testified by prominent witnesses in the Church Fathers all throughout the first millennium." (The Papacy, Erick Ybarra, p. 43)

Allegorically (John Scotus Erigena, Hom. in Prol. Jn.): the tomb is the Sacred Scriptures. Peter is faith, which is the first thing we bring to its pages, and John is understanding, which afterward enters and penetrates their meaning more deeply. Morally, Peter and John represent the active and contemplative missions of the Church, so that even when contemplatives are the first to arrive at a deeper understanding of the faith, deference is given to the hierarchical leadership, who later defines and promulgates their authentic insights (Ignatius Catholic Study Bible).

"Whoever removes the Cross and its interpretation by the New Testament from the center, in order to replace it, for example, with the social commitment of Jesus to the oppressed as a new center, no longer stands in continuity with the apostolic faith. He does not see that God’s commitment to the world is most absolute precisely at this point—across a chasm."

I would like to thank Pinesap for recommending Balthasar's Short Primer. I am over halfway through and it has been a joy to read thus far, I wish I had known of this work years ago.
