That would be true if the Rock upon which the Church was built was, in fact, Peter. But it wasn’t. The Rock is Christ, the Chief Cornerstone. Jesus was speaking to Peter as a follower, not as a leader.

I heartily concur!

If Jesus intended to refer to Himself, and NOT Simon, as the “Rock,” why did He change Simon’s name to “Rock”?
