Man-Worshippers Dismiss The Biblical Evidence
Man-Worshippers Dismiss The Biblical Evidence
Cephas (Of Galatians) Was Not St. Peter, According To 18th Century Jesuit Theologian Fr. Francesco Zaccaria, S.J.
Many seem to find this position difficult to accept due to being told one thing their entire life. This explanation seems the most logical, and I also believe that it is the correct one.

There are many who have not seen the evidence on this matter. But many others don't accept the evidence because they are, frankly, man-worshippers. They don't have a supernatural faith but a purely human 'faith'. They are more persuaded by the word of man than by arguments from the word of God. Hence, even though the biblical arguments from God's word (which show that it was not St. Peter) are powerful, overwhelming and convincing (and the view that it was St. Peter really doesn't make any sense in context), those people will dismiss the biblical evidence and still hold that it was St. Peter because the other position (that it was not St. Peter) was the minority position among the fathers and not held by St. Thomas. They are simply not moved by God’s word. For some of them, quotes from the 18th century theologian cited in the article might be more persuasive than the evidence from the Bible, because they are more persuaded by the word of man than by the word of God. It's similar to why so many deny the teaching of the Chair of St. Peter on salvation and baptism.
