Jesus is not a literal door, yet Peter has literal keys to the kingdom. Yet since it appears that salvation is the key to the kingdom, then Peter must be the One who saves us. No wonder we get confused. Mary and Peter and the Church saves us. Maybe they're the trinity.

Why, the keys can be taken metaphorically, as the ability to decide on matters of salvation -- to "bind and loose". I am not aware of any Catholic teaching that understands the Pearly Gate and the key as a physical gate and physical key.

Now, now, SL,

you should know that logic and theology are not supposed to get within 100 galactic clusters of one another.

How shameful.
