I thought, according to Catholics, the authority to bind on earth was given to Peter and consequently down the line to future Popes?

(Actually, it's all bishops)

Nonetheless, that means the ability to forgive or retain sins.

That doesn't mean that a Pope suddenly has the authority to nullify Sacred Scripture.
