[OLD REGGIE]

not "A rock of His Church" but "THE rock of His Church"

Not one of many, but THE one rock

God said, He meant it, I accept it. Amen.

Where? Where did Jesus say Peter is THE rock of His Church?

[Notwithstanding]

Scripture: "Simon, you are Rock, and upon this rock I will build my church."

"This rock" is even more specific than "the rock".

Thanks for giving me the chance to clarify!

Your attempt to have this sentence mean various things merely points out how important it is that God established a Church that has been given the Spiritual gift to interpret Scripture authoritatively. Thus each man cannot claim his version is in Spired and thus - as Protestants so frequently explain to me is their belief.
