Sorry, I've never been to Rome and have no connection with it.
...would have us believe that a man who Jesus will refer to as satan in just a few verses...
Another common contortion of Scripture. Jesus was referring to Satan (who was using Peter at that moment). Peter was Pope, but he was still a man.
“Peter was Pope, but he was still a man.”
But how can that be, the pope is supposed to be perfect and infallible ? BTW, I'm still waiting to hear how you know that Mary and the dead saints hear your prayers?? Anyone ?
