So you chose it? I think you're the first Catholic convert I've met. And it was hearing / reading the recruitment of Peter that was the turning point? Was it something that resonated with you or was it something else?

    Yeah, I chose Catholicism.

    and Peter being given the keys to heaven and being the first Pope is undeniable proof of catholicism

    I'm struggling to find anything that confirms Peter was a real person.

    If you just swallow the sacred history of the RCC and run with 'maybe the bible is true' but that works with loads of religions.

    You surely can't be reading the Book of Acts as history?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Peter

    all historical evidence suggests that Peter existed

    He pops up in briefly in Marcion's first New Testament in around 140CE and then becomes some kinda patriarch figure in the later 27 book Catholic New Testament and via St Irenaeus.

    Scripture is awesome but for the love of God don't be reading the Catholic 27 book NT's like they are history textbooks.

    We have no idea who St Paul was or what he wrote either, it's fine.
