Father Moy had this picture, of Sts. Peter and Paul, by El Greco, circulating before Mass, this morning. I thought it very apropos, since it fits my exact idea of Sts. Peter and Paul. Paul is the more charismatic one, so he would be wearing red, and to me, the one you notice, first. Peter doesn't seemed too excited to be next to Paul. I don't imagine that any of the original apostles were very accepting of Paul. And Paul always has to prove that he's an apostle, just as much as the original apostles. Even in the picture, Paul is using the Word.
Peter is wearing gold. Well, as the first pope, he's entitled. Note Peter is holding the key to heaven.
How much do you want to bet, that although Peter is the first pope, and he's holding the keys, that it was Paul, who has the last word? Just look at Paul face. Intense--personified. Dare you say differently?
