Read your quotes from Augustine again.

-No; you post them and highlight what you’ve discovered.

If you don’t want to read them again, fine. I provided the following example that was reiterated in your other quotes:

(in this representation Christ is to be understood as the Rock, Peter as the Church)

My point is that, regardless of whether Augustine considered Peter to be Rock or Church, he did believe that the Catholic Church began with the seat of the Apostle Peter, and the succession of priests beginning with Peter is what kept him in the bosom of the Catholic Church.

My job is done here.

Peace,

I provided the following example that was reiterated in your other quotes:

What you 'provided' was YOUR interpretation of what you've think Augustine's intentions were.

You are fast approaching V1 speed.

...he did believe that the Catholic Church began with the seat of the Apostle Peter...

The things some folks believe never surprise me.
