| User Reviewgabriel lresume a história de S. Pedro após a crucifcação de Cristo até a sua própria crucificação (em Roma). Baseado na Bíblia e na Tradição da Igreja ajuda a perceber a importância desse apóstolo e dos seus sucessores (os Papas) para os cristãos. |

It's really a shame since the Christian community certainly could provide the necessary financial backing. Take the success of LUTHER, for example. |
