Down in the basement of the Vatican, less than twenty feet beneath the high altar of St. Peter’s Basilica, there is an ugly, graffiti-covered brick-and-plaster wall. Inside the wall there is a rectangular cavity containing nineteen clear Plexiglass boxes filled with old bones, some of which are claimed to be the mortal remains of St. Peter himself. A small breach in the wall allows two of the boxes and their bony contents to be seen through the open bronze work of a gate set some distance in front of the wall. Ten of the bones thus carefully preserved at this most holy focal point in all of Christendom, however, are the remains of domestic animals — goats, sheep, cows, swine, and a chicken.2 Scripture tells us [Mk 14:30,72] that Peter denied his master thrice before the cockerel could crow twice. Could this chicken be the remains of Peter’s fabled cockerel?

If you can take any old cloth and call it the 'shroud of Turin', then you can certainly take any old bones and call them 'St. Peter's bones'.

the Vatican is not the focal point of Christianity, just Catholicism. We don't believe Peter was the first pope or was ever in Rome. Our focal point is Christ, not a building, or city.

Sorry. I don't believe in the Catholic religion.
