CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Peter, Prince of the Apostles Peter was one of the three Apostles (with James and John) who were with Christ on certain special occasions the raising of the daughter of Jairus from the dead (Mark 5:37; Luke 8:51); the Transfiguration of Christ (Matthew 17:1; Mark 9:1; Luke 9:28), the Agony in the Garden of Gethsemani (Matthew 26:37; Mark 14:33). Peter returned occasionally to the original Christian Church of Jerusalem, the guidance of which was entrusted to St. James, the relative of Jesus, after the departure of the Prince of the Apostles (A.D. The last mention of St. Peter in the Acts (15:1-29; cf. Peter's residence and death in Rome are established beyond contention as historical facts by a series of distinct testimonies extending from the end of the first to the end of the second centuries, and issuing from several lands. www.newadvent.org /cathen/11744a.htm   (7872 words)

St. Peter's Primacy and Mt. 16:18 Peter is also masculine gender and not feminine gender as petra is. The misuse of this verse has led people to wrongly believe that the church was built on St. Peter, who was supposed to have been "the visible head of the church" and the first Pope. This explicitly shows that the real St. Peter was a married man, for it is impossible to have a mother-in-law and not be married. Peter merely referred to himself as "a fellow elder." (The Apostle John, likewise, referred to himself as an "elder," 2 Jn. www.evangelicaloutreach.org /peter.htm   (1423 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Basilica of Saint Peter Beside it in the chapel of St. Nicholas is the treasury of the relics of St. Peter, then follows the chapel of St. Sebastian, and finally the roomy chapel of the Sacrament. Three clearly defined stages in the construction of St. Peter's must therefore be distinguished: (1) Bramante's Greek cross with the dome; (2) Michelangelo, a Greek cross with dome, and in addition a vestibule with a portico of columns; (3) Paul V, a Latin cross with Baroque facade. The sacristy of St. Peter's, the house of the canons and beneficiaries, as well as the papal hospice of Santa Marta are connected with the basilica by two covered passages. www.newadvent.org /cathen/13369b.htm   (4174 words)

50 NT Proofs for Petrine Primacy & the Papacy The Catholic doctrine of the papacy is biblically-based, and is derived from the evident primacy of St. Peter among the apostles. Peter is specified by an angel as the leader and representative of the apostles (Mk 16:7). Peter alone among the apostles is exhorted by Jesus to "strengthen your brethren" (Lk 22:32). ic.net /~erasmus/RAZ112.HTM   (1622 words)

Saint Peter Peter was married and lived with his wife and mother-in-law in Capernaum, a town on the northwestern shore of the Sea of Galilee. Peter’s relics were venerated in Rome from very early times, since we have references that can be understood this way from Clement of Rome at the end of the first century and from Ignatius of Antioch at the beginning of the second. In 1976 St. Peter's Church dedicated a set of sixteen kneeling cushions for the altar rails, designed and executed by the women of the parish. www.st-petersweb.org /stpeter1.html   (1545 words)

<I>Inside the Vatican</I>:<BR>St. Peter's Basilica Peter's Basilica is a monument to Peter whom Jesus tapped as the chief apostle, declaring that Peter was the rock on which he would build the church. Because Rome was the capital of the empire, Peter, along with the apostle Paul, came to the city to spread the faith, early in the first millennium. But early Christians were often persecuted for their beliefs and, according to church tradition, in A.D. 64, the apostle Peter was arrested, brought to one of the great imperial circuses in Rome and martyred on an inverted cross. news.nationalgeographic.com /news/2001/11/1118_vaticanbasilica.html   (657 words)

History of St. Peter's Catholic Church, Harpers Ferry Peter's was the only church in the town that was not severely damaged or destroyed by the heavy bombardments and destruction leveled on Harpers Ferry by both northern and southern forces. The undamaged St. Peter's Church and the school house were used as make-shift hospitals at various times during the War, and Father Costello held services and administered the sacraments as much as possible throughout its duration (Hearn 1996: 288). This plan called for the preservation of St. Peter's Church in view of its historical significance, and anticipated that occasional liturgical celebrations would be held there each year (DWC History: 13). etext.lib.virginia.edu /users/fennell/highland/harper/StPeterhistory1.html   (6922 words)

Catholic Online Peter was always listed as the first of the Apostles in all of the New Testament accounts and was a member of the inner circle of Jesus, with James and John.

St Peter That St. Peter founded that church by his is expressly asserted by Caius,[1] a priest of Rome under Pope Zephyrinus; who relates also that his body was then on the Vatican Hill, and that of his fellow-labourer St. Paul on the Ostian Road. Peter took that province upon himself; and repairing to Rome, there preached the faith and established his episcopal chair, whose the bishops of Rome have been accounted in all ages. The feast of the chair of St. Peter is found in ancient Martyrologies, as in one under the name of St. Jerome, at Esternach, copied in the time of St. Willibrord, in 720. www.ewtn.com /library/MARY/PETCHAIR.htm   (733 words)

POPES THROUGH THE AGES And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Later, Jesus in a scene of historic importance solemnly commissioned Peter.

Patron Saint Peter was martyred (crucified upside down on a cross) for the Faith in the year 64 in Rome, the city he served as its first bishop. It is because of Peter's confession of faith in Jesus as Messiah that Jesus gave him the nickname of "rock" and stated that it was upon the rock of Peter's faith that the Church would rise (Matthew 16:18). Paul was also martyred at Rome, three years after St. Peter, in the year 67 AD, by being beheaded (his Roman citizenship would not permit his being crucified). www.sspeterandpaul.org /saint.htm   (685 words)

CIN - A Saint in the Slave Trade, Arnold Lunn [St. Peter Claver] Peter Claver, S.J. (1581-1654) was unable to abolish the slave trade, but he did what he could to mitigate its horrors, once the slaves arrived in the New World, by bringing them the consolations of religion and ministering to their bodily wants. When Peter Claver first set foot in Cartagena, he kissed the ground which was to be the scene of his future labours. He had every reason to rejoice, for the climate of Cartagena was disagreeably hot and moist, the country around was flat and marshy, the soil was barren, the necessities of life had to be imported, and in the time of Peter Claver fresh vegetables were almost unknown. www.cin.org /petclavr.html   (2460 words)

Of Bones and Boners - Spring 1997 On the north face of the so-called “Tomb of the Egyptians,” one of the many tombs discovered beneath the floor of St. Peter’s, a pre-Constantinian, chest-like masonry structure was discovered filled with human bones, obviously the remains of earlier burials reburied when the tomb was built. Reflecting on the fact that Eusebius knew of the newly-built St. Peter’s Basilica when he retailed the polemic of Gaius, it is impossible to believe he would not have mentioned the incorporation of the Tropaion into the basilica if that had in fact occurred. That these are the actual remains of St. Peter we cannot doubt: a successor of St. Peter, Pope Paul VI, has confirmed the fact — although he never made it clear how the mouse bones and barnyard cattle parts functioned in Peter when he was alive. www.americanatheist.org /spr97/T2/bones.html   (6449 words)

St. Peter Peter is mentioned so often in the New Testament—in the Gospels, in the Acts of the Apostles, and in the Epistles of St. Paul—that we feel we know him better than any other person who figured prominently in the life of the Saviour. There is some evidence for supposing that Peter's brother Andrew and possibly Peter himself were followers of John the Baptist, and were therefore prepared for the appearance of the Messiah in their midst. In the catacombs many wall writings have been found which link the names of St. Peter and St. Paul, showing that popular devotion to the two great Apostles began in very early times. www.ewtn.com /library/MARY/PETER.htm   (1397 words)

Pietro Damiani - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Peter Damiani wrote (about 1053) a treatise, the Liber Gratissimus, in favour of their validity, a work which, though much combatted at the time, was potent in deciding the question in their favour before the end of the twelfth century. On the night preceding the feast of the Chair of St. Peter at Antioch, he ordered the office of the feast to be recited and at the end of the Lauds he died, at Faenza. Although living in the seclusion of the cloister, Peter Damian watched closely the fortunes of the Church, and like his friend Hildebrand, the future Gregory VII, he strove for reforms in a deplorable time. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/St_Peter_Damian   (1879 words)
