Hey Adiaireton8, I have some good news and some bad news. Which would you like first? The good news is that I have completed my search through the Book of the Acts of the Apostles. The bad news is that I found no evidence for that alleged bishopric of Peter in Rome --- well bad news for the magisterium anyway. Are they the least bit concerned yet? Well we have the Ante-Nicene Fathers yet to go, and I am sure that they will tell us all we wish to know about Peter. So tell them not to drop their robes yet.

I have searched through the Latin Vulgate, the Douay Rheims, the Challoner, the NIV, NASB, and other bibles but no evidence has surfaced. Should I look in the King James Bible? Oh is it still on "the List".? Could you post for me that updated "List of Forbidden Books". Mine is dated 1950 and it still has the King James Bible on it? And could you check to see if that Nihil Obstated and Imprimatured work of F.A. Sullivan From Apostles to Bishops ever made "the List"? You know, the one who claimed that the first church in Rome was shepherded by presbyterians not a bishop? Yeh!! the First Presbyterian Church of Rome. I'm sure he was popular at mass after that?

How is your search through the AnteNicene Fathers going? . Don't forget to search Clement of Rome thoroughly. Yeh, it would be ironic if Peter passed his authority down to a "presbyterian". The Keys of St Peter handed over to the First Presbyterian Church of Rome. Wouldn't that cause a scandal? Well, we haven't found anything yet about Peter in Rome, so tell them not flutter their cassocks.

Well its on to the Epistles. And yes, I am searching the Septuagint as well, and shhhhhh, even the King James Bible, just in case they missed anything. And after that I will be going down to the University to check all of the old manuscripts, the vellums, the uncials, miniscules, the Peshita, the Ethiopic, the Sahidic, the Old Latin, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and yes even all that papyrus from the sands of Egypt. We will find evidence of Peter's bishopric somewhere, don't you think?

Godspeed on your end. And check with your superiors to see if we can have access to the Vatican Library. They might have some good stuff in there that's just gathering dust.

Greetings A8, I'm just checking in from the library down here at our local Catholic University. Good news and bad news. My search has gone well. It is almost finished. We can find no evidence of Peter being in Rome in the Epistles. The scholars at this table over here agree. That means that we can dismiss the entire Old and New Testament from our research and narrow in on those Ante-Nicene Fathers that you know so much about.

And now the bad news: it's your turn. You're up to bat. Don't be nervous. Just give us those sacred words from the "Holy Fathers" that tell us about Peter's 25 year bishopric in Rome, that's all. Keep your focus and your eye on the goal line --- "Dr A8"

Meanwhile I have to check just one more manuscript that the magisterium keeps hidden away in their holy of holies at the monastery down the street. My part of our thesis is being checked for historical accuracy, footnotes, sources, spelling, grammar, . . . as I want it to be perfect with no mistakes. I will post later on today my half of of our Thesis: THE EVIDENCE for THE TWENTY-FIVE YEAR BISHOPRIC of PETER in ROME and His UPSIDEDOWN CRUCIFIXION under NERO . It will be available for anyone anywhere to challenge its accuracy. My reputation is on the line as yours will be shortly. I trust that you are as excited as I am.
