brothers in christ from another denomination, if you think RCC is struggling then help us! you don't need to talk about purgatory!
and all about the other stuff that divides us! just talk about Jesus..no need to convert...JUST JESUS
if it's really Jesus that matters most. then enough with this religion BASHING crap!
after all, we have our own reasons for our different POVs,practices and beliefs and on top of that none of us can really claim
absolute truth in God's perspective when it comes to the things that differentiates us

I don't speak for all Protestants and our attitude towards Catholics do vary. In my experience as a former Catholic I have not been in Protestant churches that hold a militant view on Catholic dogma and accuse the Roman Catholic church all sorts of things. I have not been in churches that are like those, I have not encountered pastors or preachers that revolve around exposing Catholicism with a vengeance. These are age-old attitudes that were predominant during the 16th and 17th century and is not the same environment we have today. Despite the disagreements I have not been in a church that is verbally and physically 'protesting'.
Second, I have not yet encountered anyone or read something that deemed the Five Solas as an incitement to protest or to revolt even though later on they were used by countries or individuals as a justification to separate from the Holy Roman Empire. Luther himself was not keen on leaving the church he just meant to reform it, hence the movement was called "Reformation". Just as Aquinas was writing about Christian ethics in war in his "Just War theory" as an example, Luther was writing about returning to the Bible as the the primary source of authority for all Christians in the "Solas" likely based on Galatians 1. The rest of course is history.
Yes they are physical evidences of early church history. But these ancient shrines only tell us how early Christians worshiped in the Middle ages, Christians that were already following the traditional view of Peter to begin with thanks to the writings of Marcion, Irenaeus, and Dionysius.
For example. There would be hardly any difference to build an altar of Peter in Rome today and men from the future discovering and claim it as proof. Although it enriches the traditional view it still misses the answer to the question of its origin because its makers did not really know what happened to Peter because they themselves are subjects to tradition.
Historical texts outside the influence of tradition. And since finding sources void of any religious sympathies are tricky its preferable to cross-examine them instead. I am also asking secular sources on this topic somewhere else.

Defender, machinecult please present your evidence para ato ma-discuss.

Off topic lang ko gamay...
The Bible itself proves that the Apostles preached EVERYWHERE.
Does this prove that Peter may have preached to Rome? YES.
- All literary, historical and archaeological sources prove so. Yet, there are """bible-christians""" who deny this fact even if the Apostle himself says he was in Babylon and this fact is written in the bible. Ironic, isnt it?
Where did the Apostles go?
Simon, given the name Peter, worked among the Jews before he eventually reached Rome
Thomas journeyed into Northwest India, east of Persia. (Kerala, India)
Bartholomew travelled to Armenia and a portion of Upper Phrygia in Asia Minor (Turkey)
Jude journeyed to Assyria and Mesopotamia. Modern day Northern Iran and Iraq. Mesopotamia (Iraq and ) is the site of ancient Babylon, now an obscure village.
Philip went to Scythia and Upper Asia (meaning Asia Minor) -- Romania and Bulgaria
James the Just stayed in Israel.
James travelled to Hispania or Finis Terrae, modern day Spain.

FATE OF THE APOSTLES
I don't care where Peter went, because Jesus told them to spread Christianity NOT religion, Spread the Belief Not the Organization![]()
