Nickcarraway:

Peter was imprisoned and martyred under Nero by upside down crucifixion and was dealt a coup de grace by a centurion who was traditionally believed to have been executed for showing that mercy to Peter.

A very high percentage of the popes were martyred by pagan Roman authorities up until the Emperor Constantine made Catholicism the religion of the Roman Empire during the papacy of Miltiades in the early 4th century.

As recently as the Age of Napoleon, Bonaparte imprisoned Pope Pius VI as "Citizen Pope."

I have no doubt that Narses knows all of the foregoing and would say so.

I have followed Narses' posts for numerous years here. I usually agree with him but not always. I do not remember a single instance in which he has EVER suggested what you claim he has claimed. In justice, you owe him an apology.

You are also usually a lot better than to post your #51. Your last sentence in #51 is particularly shameful nonsense.
