I am Catholic. I cross myself in memory of Jesus and not of Peter.

I do not 'pray in a mirror', when outside of church I pray in solitude as instructed in Matthew Chapter 6. The focal point in my Church is the Cross. I 'look in that'.

Peter claimed to be unworthy though and wanted to be crucified upside down

Andrew wanted to be crucified on a cross tipped on its side as depicted in the Scottish flag (St. Andrew's cross). 11/12 Disciples were made martyrs. Each could have avoided death if they relinquished their faith.


The deception started immediately.

I agree, but for different reasons. Thanks to the Catholic Church many deceptions were removed from Church teaching.

I am not trying to convert anybody to Catholicism, I am simply defending my Church. I have said many times before; If you recognise the Trinity then I regard you as part of my family in Christ.

Thanks for your arguments.

Do it in front of a mirror once and and look. It's an upside down cross.

That's symbolic of Peter, not Jesus.

What about your prayers IN the church? What about hail Mary's?

"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

You're deceived. The catholic church teaches deception.

It is the mother of prostitutes and abominations. She says in her heart "I sit enthroned as queen. I will never mourn."

God is about to show you.

God Bless.
