you get upset when others master it better than your own

You are presuming again. I don't get upset if someone masters Greek better than my own language. My native tongue is not Greek. You'd have to prove that he did.

So then these words by the author of the epistle of I Peter are a big lie

I don't know. Maybe his name was really Peter.

And the Church at that time participated in the propagation of this big lie

The Church believed what theChurch believed. And the Church has not been exactly free from machinations. Evene the first Church historian, Eusebius (4th century), admits that they retain that which is suitable for the Church and reject that which isn't.

Better to admit I Peter was written by Peter circa 65 AD than defame that great institution of yours

Is this like hiding the fact that some priests are not exactly priestly for fear of defaming the "instituton." Now we are going to subject the truth to a sanitized version of the truth out of fear? How honest and earnest is that?

LOLOL -- Oh no, not a second Peter!!!

Well -- even if there had been a second Peter, the wise leaders of the church would have called this second Peter's letter "II Peter" not "I Peter" ---- right???? :)
