Probably so.
They have been EXCELLENT "fall guys" since St. Peter was crucified UPSIDE DOWN on Vatican Hill.

From Wikipedia:

According to Christian tradition, Peter was crucified in Rome under Emperor Nero Augustus Caesar.

It is traditionally held that he was crucified upside down at his own request, since he saw himself unworthy to be crucified in the same way as Jesus Christ.

Tradition holds that he was crucified at the site of the Clementine Chapel, while his mortal remains are contained in the underground Confessio of St. Peter's Basilica, where Pope Paul VI announced the excavated discovery of a first-century Roman cemetery in 1968.

Every June 29 since 1736, a life-size statue of Saint Peter has been crowned in St. Peter's Basilica with a papal tiara, ring of the fisherman, and papal vestments, as part of the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul.

By Catholic doctrine, the direct papal successor to Saint Peter is Pope Francis.

==========================

I saw the container that held his remains.
It said, simply:

Here lies Peter.

Up here in MN, we don’t hear about child molestation, unless it was committed by a Catholic. All channel 5 can report on is dead priests that abused children in the 1950-1960’s.

I believe the situation was like Penn State. The innocent in charge didn’t know what to do. They should know now.
