The ONLY reason you are making an issue of this is because .. IF Peter WAS the rock .. it would prove that he was the founder of the Catholic Church. Since Peter was the FIRST Pope of the Catholic Church. Hence, it is imperative that he be renounced.

Now I am not a religious person .. so it doesn't make any difference to me WHAT you want to believe. I merely point this out.. so that others will see it as more of the anti-Catholic religious propoganda I seem to see a lot of around here.

"Can't we all just get along?"

Seriously, we all agree that Jesus was the Son of God, that he gave his life on the cross for the sins of all men... all of us... and that accepting his gift and believing in him grants us the key to eternal life with God in Heaven.

So what's the big argument?

Except there's a little problem of a few centuries in there, from Peter's time-- and then the clerical offices became a formal heirarchy, similar to the succession of posts held by the ambitious Roman aristocrat. Would Christ found a Roman church? Rome is Esau, isn't it?

Then what about the two popes who claimed each was the true one?

Well said.

Basically, these Rascally Proddies would have you believe 2000 years of error was refuted by their unusually keen and perceptive minds.

But as someone once said: "AntiCatholic Biogtry is the last acceptable Prejudice".

Irrevelant,the church soon drifted into error and the keys were taken away..
