1. St. Peter could be crucified because he was not a Roman citizen. St. Paul was a citizen, so he was beheaded.
2. When we’re discussing the Bible in my prayer group or in Sunday School class, I’ll often begin a statement with “Scott Hahn suggests ...,” or “According to Scott Hahn ...”.

1. Yes, I know. Paul had the "privilege" of choosing, even though he was Jewish too. The citizenship of Rome could be purchased. Paul was smart to do so. It might have had to do with his trade...tent maker.

2. Now that Scott Hahn has "crossed the Tiber" is he still quoted by you or others...or just ignored? Just curious.

St. Paul was born a Roman citizen. In Acts he says this to a Roman official who had purchased citizenship.

Scott Hahn joined the Catholic Church a few years before my husband and I did. (We have more children, though.) His interpretations are always interesting, although sometimes I prefer another way of looking at a passage.
