Respectfully disagree. Center point not Rome and St. Peter. Center point = Jesus (faith in...) and the Bible, God’s Word.

If Peter and the other Apostles, and THEIR disciples hadn't done the work to spread the words and story of Jesus, there wouldn't even have been a Church. They knew it wasn't about them, but about Jesus's Words and Teachings, and they did a good job getting them out to the world.

Jesus knew what He was doing when He chose them.

Christ is the Word of God. The Bible only in a secondary sense.
