House of Saint Peter Found Beneath Byzantine Basilica

Edit: the Catholic snooze agency finally reported something  good!

The site is a tribute of the ravening Mohamedan, who probably burned the church down and built a horse barn over it. 

Could this be a sign of divine favor, or a warning?

 [CNA]A team of archaeologists uncovered evidence this month that may be the “smoking gun” confirming the location of the house of St. Peter.

While excavating a fifth-sixth century Byzantine basilica at the el Araj archaeological site located on the shores of the Sea of Galilee in Israel, the team discovered a large Greek mosaic that seems to bolster the theory that the church was built over the home of Ss. Peter and Andrew.

Steven Notley, who leads the dig at what is being called “The Church of the Apostles,” is a professor of the New Testament and Christian Origins at Nyack University. He told CNA in a phone interview that the basilica’s mosaic is the “most definitive archaeological connection [we have] with [St.] Peter.” 

The mosaic is inscribed with a petition that asks for the intercession of St. Peter, who is referred to as “the chief and commander of the heavenly apostles.”

Why would this be a good or bad omen? It's good news.

When the spear of Longinus was found at the siege of Antioch, it was an amazing portent of God’s favour.

I am glad of this find.

Unfortunately, the current Vatican administration will sell it to Jews who will rent it to blacks.

Jorge will apologize in Riyad for the faulty amateur no count foundation the ancient Catholics built as he wipes away fake tears while speaking.

Trying to muster a laugh while simultaneously bringing himself out of a profound shameful remorseful selfless state. No doubt by the end he'll throw in a "Traditional Catholics are an insufferable lackey illiterate bundle of F-sticks and no doubt the cause of sorrow while holding up progress.
