He was taught by Polycarp who was martyred rather than deny what he had learned about Christ from the apostles, in particular John. (\u003cem\u003eAdv. Haer\u003c\/em\u003e. III, I, 1). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince Vatican II, however, Catholic seminaries and universities have promoted an ahistorical \"Markan Priority\" theory that, at this writing, indefensibly deems it \"untenable\" that apostle Matthew wrote \u003cem\u003eThe Gospel according to Matthew\u003c\/em\u003e and reduces all four Gospels to probable unwitnessed hearsay: usccb.org\/bible\/matthew\/0, mark\/0, luke\/0, john\/0, last paragraphs - uncertainty that may explain why few homilies now include the \"hard sayings\" of Jesus upon which salvation may well depend. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe key claim of this theory is that because \"You are Peter ...\" (Mt 16:18-19) is not in Mark (8:27-30), Jesus never gave primacy to Peter. But Irenaeus wrote, \"Mark, the disciple and interpreter of Peter, did also hand down to us in writing what had been preached by Peter.\" (\u003cem\u003eAdv. Haer\u003c\/em\u003e. III, I, 1). With Nero's agents listening, Peter would not have ended his ministry by proclaiming a \"kingdom\" to which he held the Keys.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSulpician Father Raymond E. Brown championed this Markan Priority Two-Source Hypothesis that reduces the Gospels to unwitnessed hearsay. In the Index of his last book - 878-page \u003cem\u003eAn Introduction to the New Testament\u003c\/em\u003e (1997) and at least four others - \"Irenaeus\" is not found. Fr. Brown also dismissed the Early Church Fathers: \"unless those writers had historical information they cannot answer historical questions.\" (\u003cem\u003eBiblical Exegesis and Church Doctrine\u003c\/em\u003e, 1985, 20). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the \u003cem\u003eImprimatur\u003c\/em\u003e of Most Rev.
