[b]III HISTORY [/b]

Archaeological and literary evidence supports the belief that St Peter was martyred in Rome and [b]even that he was buried in the traditional site under the main altar of St Peter's Basilica[/b], but the precise role he played in the Christian community in Rome before his death is not known.

The problem I see with many of these Encarta References is that they were probably written by a Catholic Scholar who was consulted by them.

But they still work, shh I did not really say that ^ too loud.

[MorphRC]

No they're not. They dont use any scholar related to the subject. Its secular, so say. Im Catholic, you wouldnt get me to write an article on the Papacy. You'd get someone else, with equal qualifications as to avoid my bias of being Catholic into the subject.

[Crusader_4]

ACtually the proof for St. Peter under the altar is staggering really to suggest otherwise doesnt make much sense and i know there are people who say St. Peter was not in Rome because he is not mentioned in the Epistle to the Romans but when you think about it your Church under a time of persecution when the letters could be intercepted and used for the persecution its generally not a good idea to say to the leader of the Church "Hey Peter hows Rome treating yah?"
