The Catholics, who in fact are ‘The Nicolaitans‘, only say this to add credit to their abominable church of lies and deceit. They claim that Saint Peter was heir first Bishop, while Peter never even visited Rome and had nothing to do with the Roman Church.  

The Catholics could simply have chosen Peter as their ‘Patron’,

but instead, they set out to deceive the masses through lying. And, alas! due to the folly of men,  they’ve largely succeeded in this fraud.  Claiming to be the first and the only church, steadfast continuing to deceive, convict, persecute and murder: yet the masses believed them to be  ‘The’ Church of God, until things really started to uncloud with the protestant reformation.
