Excellent news. Now men are waking up to stop serving the Roman cult of death and suffering.TonydeNewYork- are you for real? Study history and see who Peter etc really were.Jesus said the church was inside each human being and did not need churches etc.

ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC and APOSTOLIC will rise again! 18 I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will NOT overpower it. Saint Matthew 16, 18.
