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.

Plus the catholic church banned members from owning Bibles. I wonder why...
This is so wrong. Freemason propaganda. You can literally look this stuff up, you know?
