St. Peter was crucified upside down because he requested it. He said he was not worthy to be crucified upright like Jesus. St. Peter was considered the first pope, as Jesus said " And I tell you that you are Peter and on this rock I build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."
That is what we were told when I went to Catholic school. I always thought it was evil and bad.
I never understood how they pulled a Pope, a person between a person and God, from Peter being the rock. Jesus was the church. Peter was the church. We are the church. It’s in you, not a building. And somehow a figure head rose up out of all that. And a title, and a pope was made. There is no one between a person and Jesus. Not a preacher or am pope. Yet I have talked to many Catholics that have told me that the Pope is the closest to God. The pedestal they place him on. So wrong IMO.
absolutely correct. mixed with paganism. completely invented. they say peter was 1st pope but look at what the criteria is to be pope. he did not meet their criteria.
