The inverted cross is perhaps even more controversial. Simply put, the inverted cross is a tradition Roman Catholic, or Latin, cross that is flipped, so the cross bar is close to the bottom rather than near the top. On one hand, some people believe that this symbol is a mockery of Christian theology, meant to trivialize the death of Jesus and represent adherence to Satanism. On the other hand, the inverted cross is also representative of the death of Saint Peter, who was martyred. Saint Peter, the Bishop of Rome (which is where the position of Pope originated), was crucified upside-down because, if the story is believed, he felt unworthy of dying in the same manner as Christ. Known as the Petrine Cross or Peter"s Cross, the inverted cross is a significant symbol used by the papacy. It is not a satanic or disrespectful symbol. Contrastingly, the inverted crucifix, or an inverted cross with Jesus on it, is thoroughly offensive to the Catholic church. The inverted cross is only recently associated with Satanism, made even more popular by Hollywood films and pop culture portrayals.
