I'm not saying they're mutually exclusive. I'm saying that preaching Jesus and his gospel (and demonstrating it) is absolutely vital and primary for people to be saved -- our primary concern.

Peter and Rome is a diversion, not worth the time at best, and at worst it will completely eclipse Jesus.

I know many, many people who have left the catholic church because they finally heard the gospel for the first time. None of them joined perfect denominations, and none of them have absolutely perfect doctrine in complete detail, but they finally understood what the gospel is all about, and why we need Jesus, and their understanding and their lives have been utterly transformed.

Why do you think that the role of Peter and hence the primacy of the Roman bishopric is not part of the Gospel?
