The Hagahos
Baruch Ta’am (Frankel) (O.Ch.580) writes that he saw a Ksav Yad that on the 9th
of Teves, Shimon Hakalfus died. He helped the Yidden when
they had big Tzaros, therefore Chazal established the day he died
as a fast day.
Shimon
Hakalfusi also known as Shimon Kipa and better known as Peter the
Apostate. (first pope)
There is a
Machlokes going back to the Rishonim, If Peter was one of ours,
planted in Rome as a secret agent, to save the
Yidden. Some even claim he authored “Nishmas”
נשמת- ואילו
פינו – עד הנה- מי ידמה – שוכן עד
The
Dikdukei Sofrim quotes a Girsa in Rashi, that both
Paul & Peter led the Christians, only to save the
Yidden from persecution. They for themselves were faithful
Yidden.
The Machzor
Vitri (Talmid of Rashi) strongly opposes this opinion
He calls him אותו נבל שמעון פטר חמור.
He also
writes “whoever claims that Nishmas was authored by
Peter will need to bring a fat Chatos when the Bais
Hamikdosh will be rebuilt”.
