Seems that way….
Not from Roman Catholics. Rome didn't control the Scriptures. Many others had them also, and even before they did.
Peter was executed in Persia, where the second largest populations of Jews were. His Ministry as the Apostle to the circumcised. He had been finished in Israel itself.
>they compiled the scriptural canon. Which ironically has more than the protestant one.
They were not the first to "compile" it. Churches in Africa had already done so, for instance. They weren't Roman Catholic.
It is well believed, not known. There is no such proof that ever happened. The story is not 2000 years old. The traditions concerning Peter developed over a few centuries removed. I've already researched Nero, thanks.
Because there isn't any evidence. The suit was by Republicans against limiting exemption to only churches, and not against mandatory vaccines or to general lockdown.
