Carmelite Latin patriarch and papal legate. Peter was born in Gascony, France and joined the Carmelites while still a young man. In 1342 he was appointed procurator of the order and, from Avignon, he oversaw the organization and government of the Carmelites. As Avignon was then the seat of the popes, he entered into their service, attracting papal attention because of his skills as a preacher and his eloquence. Named to the papal diplomatic service, he held the post of papal legate to Genoa, Milan, and Venice, and was appointed bishop of Patti and Lipari in 1354, bishop of Coron in 1359, archbishop of Candia in 1363, and titular Patriarch of Constantinople in 1364. At the behest of Pope Urban V, he journeyed to Serbia, Hungary, and Constantinople in an effort to organize a crusade against the Turks.

A programming note: Church Militant will be airing a special presentation on Pope Benedict today at 5 p.m. EST. We invite you to please watch.
Pope Benedict has now been laid to rest, entombed in the grotto of crypts under St. Peter's. He's alongside the bodies of many previous popes, including, of course, St. Peter himself (the first pope), which is why St. Peter's Basilica bears his name.
It's a two-thousand-year connection, a straight line back to Peter. It was Christ Himself who gave Simon the keys to the kingdom after changing his name to Peter.
After raising Simon Bar-Jonah to great heights by announcing that He would be the holder of the keys, Peter lost privilege by betraying Our Blessed Lord. And Peter did betray Him, not just deny Him. His betrayal came in the form of denial, but it was a betrayal nonetheless. Not much different than Judas' betrayal, in fact.
From the moment at Caesarea Philippi when Our Lord designated Simon as Peter and future leader of the Apostles by virtue of the keys, he was known as Peter. However, after the Resurrection, Jesus called him Simon Bar-Jonah, reverting back to his pre-designation name.
It would have been an emotional blow to Peter, and he would likely have felt it keenly.
