Freegracealone,
I still believe that Saint Peter was the first Pope.

Apart from the RCC saying so, what makes you so sure that Peter was a pope?
At the time Peter was supposed to be pope, we find him in the scriptures in Jerusalem etc.
Paul does not address Peter in his letter to the Romans.
History says that Linus was the first bishop of Rome.There were no popes until long after.

I believe that anyone with a Hebrew/Greek study Bible can dispell the idea that Peter was the first pope rather easily.
And Saint Peter??? Give me a break. We are all saints if we are believers. That is what my Bible says. It does not take elevation by some man or even group of men in order to be a saint.
In Christ,

Galatians 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
