Footnotes
WijnGaard’s Institute for Catholic Research - In Jesus' time, Palestine was divided into many provinces. Three of these provinces had a predominantly Jewish population: JUDEA, PEREA and GALILEE. The inhabitants of SAMARIA were the promiscuous offspring of Jews and Assyrian immigrants. The IDUMEANS and NABATEANS in the South were Arabs. The people of the DECAPOLIS and the other Trans-Jordan regions belonged to a mixed race with a hard core of Greek colonists. Tyrians, Sidonians and Syrians inhabited PHOENICIA in the North.  Palestine was a true melting pot of nations.

In about the year 330 AD Byzantium would become known as Constantinople.  

The Boudva was the first manifestation of a sect of Christians that would reach their most popular height as the Waldenzes in the Middle Ages.  Their early groups had gone to live in the mountains away from popular culture.  They developed what would later be called a heretical view of the faith.  Once the movement to create a universal Church started, the Boudva headed for their mountain home, to protect their faith  

Ryan Reeves, PhD, the Assistant Professor of Historical Theology at Gordon Cornwell Theological Seminary also makes this point in his lecture “Roman Pagan Life and Worship.”

Saint Ignatius of Antioch, also called Ignatius Theophoros (Greek: “God Bearer”) (died c. 110, Rome), bishop of Antioch, Syria, known mainly from seven highly regarded letters that he wrote during a trip to Rome, as a prisoner condemned to be executed for his beliefs.

According to Ben Fisher - the Catholic Church teaches that Ignatius was the first to use the term Catholic.  

According to the Assistant Director of Communications and Managing Editor of Catholic East, author and teacher Ben Fisher, the Catholic Church teaches that Peter selected his next two successors at the same time.  He picked Evodius to immediately succeed him and then Ignatius.  Evodius seems to have died the same year as Peter, and the same year he ascended to leadership, 67 AD.  This is the year Ignatius rose to the position of Bishop in Antioch.  

Saint Evodius is a saint in the Christian Church and also one of the first identifiable Christians. Very little is known of the life of St. Evodius. However, he was a pagan who converted to Christianity due to the apostolic work of Saint Peter
