St. Peter was crucified upside down (by choice) because he felt that he was not worthy to die in the same manner as our Lord. That is why the upside down cross--to remind us that we are willing to die for the Lord, but in no way are we exalted.

A St. Peter's Cross is an inverted Latin cross. The origin of this symbol comes from belief that St. Peter was crucified upside down, as he felt he was unworthy to be crucified in the same manner that Christ died (upright).
It has nothing to do with Satanism.
With love in Christ.

No, they do this to remember ST. Peter, who was crusified upside down. He asked to this, saying, "I am not worthy to be killed in the same manner as my Lord" The popes use St. Peter's cross since he was the first Pope.
Satanists worship Satan and are the exact opposite of the church.

No. Satanists I assume worship Satan. Catholics are christians and worship god and jesus. Alot of other chrisitan groups dislike the catholics, but they do not like many people in any case. The cross is a symbol used way before the christians. So its use, or symbolism can mean any number of things. Does not automaticly relate to christian, or satan, or any group by default.

Yes they are. They do everything against God and everything is controversial to something else they say. They are doing the devils work. Santanists use the upside down crosses so do Popes. They drink wine symbolizing blood.
