It is your contention that Peter, a man who would go on to be a leader in the Early Church, who was born and raised in the middle of the Roman Empire, an Empire whose language was Latin, who traveled at the very crossroads between the Northern and Southern parts of said empire ultimately winding up in Rome itself, a place where more than a “smattering “ of Latin was spoken, to grow the Church in the regions he traveled in, preach to the locals on the journey and be martyred, in Rome, under the Emperor Nero spoke NO Latin at all?

And this comes from one who tells us to read HISTORY.

Oh it just gets better and better...

And better...

As one who was an honors history major myself, and did more than a little reading on the Empire and its society this is about as funny as it gets.

I guess Peter just stuck his fingers in his ears and went “la la la’ when, well, basically anyone walked by...

I guess I would have to ask if Peter knew no Latin how did he find Rome LOL...
