Peter, Popes, Politics and More: the Apostle as Anchor

Abstract

Et iam tenemus obsides fidissimos huius spei, hic nempe iam regnant duo apostolorum principes; alter uocator gentium; alter, cathedram possidens primam, recludit creditas aeternitatis ianuas. Already we hold most trusty sureties for this hope, for already there reign here the two chiefs of the apostles, the one he who called the Gentiles, while the other who occupies the foremost chair opens the gates of eternity which were committed to his keeping.
