If you mean the Universal Church with Jesus as its head not the Pope, I would agree with you. However, if when you say Catholic (universal) Church you mean the Roman Catholic Church you should recognize that Peter was only one of 13 apostles (if you include Paul) and that the Roman branch did not rise in prominence for hundreds of years after Pentecost. The Roman Catholic Church (RCC) has no more of a monopoly on the faith in Jesus Christ today than Peter had a monopoly interrupting doctrine after Pentecost.

The weren't Catholics, they were proto-Christians! The Catholic Church didn't exist until 476! That is when "real Christianity" was polluted!!!

Oh yeah, and ignore all of the early writings that detail the worship style of the early Christians (like Justin Martyr), who practiced essentially the same mass that is practiced today in Catholic Churches...
