The office of the chief steward or vice-regent of the ancient Davidic kingdom, the type for the papacy, is referred to as the “father to Jerusalem.” See Isaiah 22.

What a perversion of scripture...There is only one Holy Father and it ain't no faker in your Church...

Joh_17:11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.

Agreed - there is only one Holy Father and no one said otherwise. (Matthew 6:9)

Peter was given the keys of the kingdom of heaven by Jesus himself in Matthew 16:19. The keys serve a similar function as those given to the steward/vice regent in Isaiah 22.

St. Peter did not become God the Father. No one thinks this.

Catholics use the entire bible as a cross reference to understand the context of a verse; they do not just pick verses out.
