Please show me the scripture that CLEARLY says that Christ made him the pope, a scripture that says HE thought HE was the "rock" that the church was built on and that the other apostles believed him to the the infallible head of the church

That is just 3 scriptures that I am requesting, and one more thing when is the firs\t time that Peter is referred to as the "Bishop of Rome in any historical or church documents?

When Christ gave him the keys, He gave peter authority when He gave Peter a particular commission in John, He reaffirmed the position. When Peter writes from Babylon he is writing from Rome. When Peter told the apostles assembled in Acts that there was no need to "..by placing on the shoulders of the disciples a yoke that neither our ancestors nor we have been able to bear? " he was preaching infallible dogma. And note too that no one disputed him when he said "My brothers, you are well aware that from early days God made his choice among you that through my mouth the Gentiles would hear the word of the gospel and believe." He has a particular calling and a particular authority conferred to him by Christ and recognized by the Apostles. He didn't need to run around telling everyone I'm the pope!", they all knew he was chosen to lead from the foundation.

Clement and Irenaeus both refer to Peters Roman ministry. His successor Linus, is mentioned by Paul and is noted to be Peters successor by Irenaeus.

Try not to get hung up on the word "Pope", it's the office that matters, not the title we use to describe it.
