Is "Peter/Petrus" not a fiction occasioned by the Vulgate? What I mean is this: Jesus spoke Aramaic as Mel Gibson et al inform us. Would He have used "Petrus" or the Aramaic word for "rock"? I realize this is beyond (or before) the scope of our list but beg the indulgence of all. And forgive me, Paleo-Christianity specialists, for what is probably a naive query. MG >From: "Ms Brenda M.
