The Vatican Wants You to Meet St. Peter Posted: 24 Nov 2013 03:15 PM PST The Vatican today introduced the world to what they believe are the bones of St. Peter, the Apostle, during an elaborate ceremony concluding a year packed with change for the church.  Depending on what you believe, Saint Peter is the guy you meet when you ascend to heaven, or at least to the pearly gates, and he decides whether you move into a penthouse suite in the sky or spend the afterlife suffering. But the Vatican decided recently that we should all get better acquainted with the first Bishop of Rome before that awkward moment.  Pope Francis, who was appointed this year after the first papal resignation in centuries, unveiled what most of the Christian church believes are Peter's only existing bones during the last mass of the year.
