Remember Peter denied Christ - yet he became the leader of the Apostolic community.

And a sad footnote about Peter. He failed in his mission.

Galatians 2:9  And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.

If anyone could lay claim to being "pope" it would be Paul, not Peter.

I don't get it. They shake hands in friendship, Paul realizing whom the pillars of the community are - and Peter has failed, from this verse? Wow!

Keep looking
