James, was the Prince of the Apostles, not Peter—RCC evidence, has Peter buried in Jerusalem on the Mount of Olives?
Popes from the onset of the See of Rome, and especially those of the 20th-century, have lied about the burial place of Peter. He (Peter) was the makings of the papacy’s propaganda machine, propagated to make Peter into the Prince of the Apostles. Yet, according to the New Testament, Jesus had no leading disciple, with Peter being the last possible candidate Jesus would pick to promote. You only have to read Matthew 16:23 “get behind me Satan,” or the Gospel of Thomas saying No 12, where James is chosen to be the leader of the twelve by Jesus. As well as Acts 15:19, stating that it was James, the brother of Jesus, who made the final decision. The fact that James made the final decision indicates that at this time He was the highest authority in the existing Jewish-Christian community, not Peter. Successive popes have said that Peter’s bones lay in the crypt below the St. Peter’s basilica, yet, another church in Rome, also states that it keeps the remains of Peter.
In short, there is no early textual evidence for Peter in Rome, so for some people, it’s very hard to believe that he ever travelled there. Not only is it a very long way, according to the New Testament, Peter was a fisherman who was not educated and who spoke only Aramaic; he was not the type of person that might travel widely across the Roman Empire to a large city where Latin and Greek were the dominant languages.
The early RCC, as you can see from the evidence, dug themselves into a hole with all their lies that they cannot now get out of, without destroying the very religion it created. Well, if you think that the evidence so far is enough proof of Peter’s resting place, you will sadly be mistaken. The pièces de résistance are yet to come.
Firstly, we have the stone ossuary or bone box, excavated in Jerusalem in 1953, by two well—respected Franciscan friar archaeologists, working on a site on the Mount of Olives. The inscription on the 1st-century ossuary reads: “
Simon Bar Jonah.”
Secondly, we have from the works of the venerable Bede or Bēda (673-735) a copy of a letter sent by Pope Vitalian (657-72) to King Oswy of Northumbria. An excerpt of the letter reads: “However, we have ordered the blessed gifts of the holy martyrs, that is, the relics of the blessed apostles, Peter and Paul, and of the holy martyrs, Laurentius, John, and Paul, and Gregory, and Pancratius, to be delivered to the bearers of these our letters, to be by them delivered to you. And to your consort also, our spiritual daughter, we have by the aforesaid bearers sent a cross, with a gold key to it, made out of the most holy chains of the apostles, Peter and Paul; at whose pious endeavours all the Apostolic See rejoices with us, as much as her pious works shine and blossom before God.” According to Pope Vitalian the bones of the apostle Peter had been given away, back in the 7th-century. Book III, Ch. 29.

Thirdly, the church “San Giovanni in Laterano” is very famous in its own right. As the primary Basilica of the Catholic Church before St. Peter’s Basilica was built and as such, contains several of the holiest and most interesting religious relics. These include the
heads of both St. Peter and Paul, as well as the ‘Holy Umbilical Cord’, plus situated above the sacramental altar, there is a fragment of the table on which Jesus consumed the last supper.

We will never know who the head belongs to, but one thing is certain, it is not the Head of Peter, for the head is safe and sound in a bone box in Jerusalem. What do you say?
