18 And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

OK. Sure. That's what it looks like it says. But we all know he really meant that Havoc is the rock upon which he will build his church.

Gee wiz, man! Learn to read!

To: broadsword
He's referring to John 1:42, in which John says Jesus renamed Simon as Peter on first meeting him.

But in Matthew's gospel, the name change is described in Matthew 16:18, where the reason for the change is given. Since this constitutes Christ's foundation of His Church, the Catholic Church, Mt 16:18 is uncomfortable for him.
