Interesting, but I thought we basically already knew this.

I absolutely adore St. Peter. I love reading about him. I am comforted knowing that he had flaws just like all of us but in the end he died a martyr and I am so proud of him.

Maybe they expect to find a note in a bottle with the message,
“Help! Am being held prisoner. Peter”.

"It was converted from being a prison into a focus of cult-like worship of St Peter by the seventh century at the latest, maybe earlier.

No Christian ever worshipped St. Peter. This is very badly worded. One prayed and may pray to St. Peter to ask for intercession with the Lord Jesus, but that is not worship.

But, I thought since the Bible never says that St. Peter was in Rome and died a martyr’s death there, it didn’t really happen. I thought this was just a fairy tale told by Catholics to justify the primacy of Rome.
