Additionally, the September 4, 1952, Gospel Broadcast copied from the October 8, 1951, Awake! The August 28, 1952, Gospel Broadcast article “Was Peter the First Pope?” was copied from the June 1, 1951, Watchtower, but was not credited to Ochoa. Whether this meant another Churches of Christ minister was following in Ochoa’s footsteps or not we cannot say. A pamphlet entitled “God’s People and the Bible” by Ochoa was copied from The Watchtower, but the publishers did not identify themselves.
