It is not my will to make it so, but the Lord's. "You are Peter, the rock, and uon this rock I will build my Church" Mt. 16:18. Before Christ there was a chosen race, a people set apart, with a sacred priesthood who celebrated their Litugy. The worshipful act of worshipping God consisted of efforts of all the people. They were preparing the way of the Lord, God who became man and who then selected twelve apostles to carry his message. Peter was chosen to lead them. and he was given "keys" or authority. Look it up in the scriptural book edited into a formal document by the Catholic Church. V's wife.
