Скачать или смотреть How Saint Peter Became the First Pope | The Rock of the Church

Who was Saint Peter, and how did a humble fisherman from Galilee rise to become the first Pope of the Christian Church? This documentary-style video explores the incredible journey of Saint Peter—his calling by Jesus, his moments of weakness and denial, his restoration after the resurrection, and his leadership as the “rock” upon which the Church was built.

From his early life as Simon the fisherman to his new identity as Peter, the shepherd of God’s people, we uncover the transformation that made him one of the most important figures in Christianity. Jesus entrusted Peter with the “keys of the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 16:18–19), symbolizing his authority and responsibility to guide the early Christian community. After Pentecost, Peter became a bold preacher of the Gospel, converting thousands and performing miracles in the name of Christ. His role in welcoming Gentiles into the faith further solidified his leadership as the head of the apostles.

Tradition holds that Peter later traveled to Rome, where he served as the first bishop. His leadership in the heart of the Roman Empire gave the Church a strong foundation and established Rome as the center of Christianity. For this reason, the Catholic Church recognizes Saint Peter as the first Pope. His martyrdom under Emperor Nero, where he was crucified upside down, sealed his legacy as a faithful servant who gave his life for the Gospel.
