[Uri’el-2012]

The Catholic Church goes all the way back to Sts. Peter & Paul.

Pagan Fable !

Peter was commanded to go only to the Jew.

He went to the 2nd largest Jewish city, Babylon, after Jerusalem.

If Peter would have preached to the gentile world, he would have disobeyed Yah'shua.

Paul was the apostle to the gentiles.

b'SHEM Yah'shua

What an interesting defence to what you call pagan fable. Peter died in Rome. That is not only Catholic history it is human history.

That was Rome. The actual city of Babylon was abandoned and desolate at the time.

No, Peter in "Babylon" is a Protestant fable of the past 200-odd years vintage. Again, we're supposed to believe that Protestant scholars of the 19th century with an ax to grind knew better than Tertullian or Ignatius of Antioch. BTW, Babylon was a desolate wasteland in the 1st century AD.

Peter was commanded to go only to the Jew.

Ah yes, a favorite retort of anti-Catholics; however, this verse clearly demonstrates that this is not true (added emphasis in the verse is mine):

And when there had been much disputing, Peter, rising up, said to them: Men, brethren, you know, that in former days God made choice among us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
-- Acts 15:7

And of course it wouldn't matter anyways because there was a sizable Jewish population in Rome and Babylon, as others here have noted, was essentially abandoned. It is also well documented that Clement wrote in the last First Century of Peter's martyrdom in Rome as did Tertullian a century later.
