And whom did God select to make sure the “right” books were in the Bible? God also selected Peter and asked him to go feed the lambs. One teaching, One Church, one Truth, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.

Whoever was at Antioch to do it.

I have never concerned myself as to who did it as God said he would make sure it was done. I know it is mistake-free and no man could have put it together and make it fit, so it has to be the Word of God as no other collection of books comes close to that perfection. I have nothing against Peter.

One teaching, One Church, one Truth, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.

So the pope is infallible?

Jesus was speaking to all the disciples on the north side of the Sea of Galilee when He changed Simon's name to "Peter". They were not in Rome. Peter was blessed for having the inspiration of God to know that Jesus was Messiah. Peter was the rock of the 12 and sent to Jerusalem and then Rome. Just because Peter was called "rock" doesn't mean the other disciples were done, the "church" was all of the disciples, not just Peter.

Now if Peter was meant to take the church to Rome and his successors were to be the sole representatives of Christ, then why was Revelation written by John on the Greek isle of Patmos during the "reign" of Clement I, the fourth "pope"? If Clement I was to be the Vicar of Christ, should not have he write the Revelation of Christ rather than John?
