*blink* oops, you got them confused. Peter was for making converts behave
as Jews, Paul was against it.  (Peter is considered the founder because of
this line, apologies for quoting the Christian NT:
Matthew 16:18 "I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My
church") Paul won the argument though, at least for the Roman Church.
Certain Jewish practices and prohibitions were adopted into the Church at
Byzantium... which bring brings me to the obligator Food Content:

animals that were strangled and animal blood, also some tref meats were
not considered proper food in Russia and other Eastern Orthodox contries
during the Middle Ages.
