A New Perspective on St. Peter: Not a Bumbling Fool but an Astute Businessman and Civic Leader

My show with Teresa Tomeo on a new perspective on Simon Peter. When the name Simon Peter is mentioned, we usually think of his impulsiveness, his shortcomings, verbal outbursts, and especially his denial of Our Lord.

But today we will discover another side to Simon Peter — more than is apparent on the surface — his family and social life, his business life, and the qualities which Jesus saw — qualities that others have often missed.

It’s a good idea to look at Peter’s business and community life before he ever met Jesus.

I present a very different view of this man chosen by Jesus to be the first “CEO” of the most incredible and long-lasting institution ever founded — the Catholic Church.

Below is my article “St. Peter: CEO of the Catholic Church” and an audio YouTube of my conversations with Teresa Tomeo on EWTN Radio.
