 | | Peter was one of the three Apostles (with James and John) who were with Christ on certain special occasions the raising of the daughter of Jairus from the dead (Mark 5:37; Luke 8:51); the Transfiguration of Christ (Matthew 17:1; Mark 9:1; Luke 9:28), the Agony in the Garden of Gethsemani (Matthew 26:37; Mark 14:33). | | | Peter returned occasionally to the original Christian Church of Jerusalem, the guidance of which was entrusted to St. James, the relative of Jesus, after the departure of the Prince of the Apostles (A.D.

| | 50 NT Proofs for Petrine Primacy & the Papacy |
| | The Catholic doctrine of the papacy is biblically-based, and is derived from the evident primacy of St. Peter among the apostles. | | | Peter is the foundation, but not founder of the Church, administrator, but not Lord of the Church. | | | Peter wrote his first epistle from Rome, according to most scholars, as its bishop, and as the universal bishop (or, pope) of the early Church. |

| | St. Peter's Primacy and Mt. 16:18 |
| | Peter is also masculine gender and not feminine gender as petra is. The misuse of this verse has led people to wrongly believe that the church was built on St. Peter, who was supposed to have been "the visible head of the church" and the first Pope. | | | Peter was not "the head" of the early church! | | | When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all, 'You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. |

| | That St. Peter founded that church by his is expressly asserted by Caius,[1] a priest of Rome under Pope Zephyrinus; who relates also that his body was then on the Vatican Hill, and that of his fellow-labourer St. Paul on the Ostian Road. | | | That he and St. Paul planted the faith at Rome, and were both crowned with martyrdom at the same time, is affirmed by Dionysius,[2] Bishop of Corinth, in the second age. | | | The feast of the chair of St. Peter is found in ancient Martyrologies, as in one under the name of St. Jerome, at Esternach, copied in the time of St. Willibrord, in 720. |

| | Saint Peter |
| | It seems that in the Gospels everything Peter in his humanity said and did endears him to us in one way or another, from his admission of his sinfulness to his presence (alone among the disciples) at the trial of Jesus. | | | Despite the absence of scriptural evidence for Peter's presence and death in Rome, there is no reason to doubt the basic facts of the church tradition. | | | Perhaps we can also think of St. Peter's keys as his faith - the faith that alone can unlock the kingdom of heaven, the faith that needs God's grace for its perfection. |

| | But early Christians were often persecuted for their beliefs and, according to church tradition, in A.D. 64, the apostle Peter was arrested, brought to one of the great imperial circuses in Rome and martyred on an inverted cross. | | | Because Rome was the capital of the empire, Peter, along with the apostle Paul, came to the city to spread the faith, early in the first millennium. | | | Almost three hundred years later, Constantine, the first Christian emperor of Rome, declared that a great church be built on the site of the tomb of St. Peter which had evolved from a simple grave to a small shrine. |

| | CIN - A Saint in the Slave Trade, Arnold Lunn [St. Peter Claver] |
| | Peter Claver, S.J. (1581-1654) was unable to abolish the slave trade, but he did what he could to mitigate its horrors, once the slaves arrived in the New World, by bringing them the consolations of religion and ministering to their bodily wants. | | | This method appealed effectively to the uneducated mind, and was, moreover, in accordance with the teachings of his Order, for, as we have seen, St. Ignatius in his Spiritual Exercises was constant in urging the exercitant to picture to himself sensibly the subject-matter of his meditations. | | | Before the day's work began, Father Claver prepared himself by special prayers before the Blessed Sacrament and by self-inflicted austerities. |
