Seems to me that if Peter asked to be crucified upside-down, he was just trying to show himself BETTER than Jesus. "I can do Jesus one better!"
But if, as you say (not that you're likely to respond, banned and all), Peter personally requested an inverted crucifixion, then does that mean that the Catholic church puts Peter above Jesus in symbology?
After all, if the Pope claims that he is a placeholder for the Christ, yet uses a symbol of Peter, then he is declaring Peter the Christ.
