As was always my custom in secular college [quite vocal] I raised my hand and asked, "How did Peter go from being the first to preach on the Day of Pentecost to the Pope of the Roman Catholic church?" The professor said we would talk after class. When class was finished he told me that Peter was never Catholic but he had to teach it that way according to policy of the college.

Wow..that's pretty sad...this was a secular college? There is nearly no evidence whatsoever Peter was ever even in Rome let alone the Pope enthroned there. And the RCC did not really have a foundational beginning until sometime after Constantine....it was shaping up to being a city in leadership, but it was not THE "capital" if all christianity
