No!
Absolutely not. They were the ones that Rome sought to destroy. Rome is the whore in scarlet and Purple. Just about everyone recognizes that, and the big protestant churches are her daughters.
Peter was no pope; that is an insult to his memory. The pope has always been Satan’s point man on Earth.
Just look at the vile disgusting conspicuous accumulation of Worldly wealth at the vatican and you can see Satan’s face glowing red.
When I see people so stupid and blind that they've swallowed the above quoted Satanic delusion I always pray that like Balaam they have an ass smarter than they are to bring them up short before they reach the damnation their love of lies is leading them to.
you realize, of course, that the Vatican treasures are basically in a museum for the whole world to enjoy...you can visit the Vatican easier thyan you can visit the White House...do you think that you would ever be able to see the pieta if it were sold off to a private owner, and the money given to the poor?????not a chance!!!
