I would be careful about what meaning you attribute to the use of “the” in Greek. It establishes a definiteness to “the rock” as it is not just any of a number of rocks and in English the same thing is accomplished by the use of “this”. “the” isn’t then necessary in English.

Thank you, but he has stated his position and the facts will not change his mind.

Just some useful information was my hope. It doesn’t really speak to his overall conclusions.

Interesting how you claim to know more than the RCC which you say you follow.

CCC 424 Moved by the grace of the Holy Spirit and drawn by the Father, we believe in Jesus and confess: 'You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.' On the rock of this faith confessed by St. Peter, Christ built his Church. "To preach. . . the unsearchable riches of Christ"
