So when a Protestant points out Peter’s very severe failures, you should understand it is by those weaknesses we feel closest to him, and it is how to best understand the sweetness of spirit he so amply demonstrates in his epistles.

I read your comments and am not persuaded. I have witnessed a chronic bias against Jacob, Simon Peter, and Miriam/Mary among the Gentiles that we generally tag as Protestants. Catholics, in general, have fallen in love with Simon Peter and Miriam/Mary because of Messiah. They have also turned to Jacob in these latter days.. I see Jacob and Simon Peter on thrones, and Miriam/Mary with a crown. I am not worthy. .

Persuade yourself however you see fit. If you are not willing to accept my statements concerning my own beliefs and feelings at face value, I do not see how we can reasonably tackle more difficult questions that require some level of mutual trust to pursue. So I guess we are done for now.

Peace,
