The rock was Peter...Christ said so in the passage I provided.

If you actually read the passage, you will see Christ is speaking of Peter's God-given faith in Him.
If we consider the ramifications of our differing points of view we find that the Biblical view that Christ is the rock maintains the authority of Christ over His church.
Whereas the fantasy that Peter was somehow the first pope leads men to bow down to other men, and to call other men "Father," and to blasphemously believe that a human being other than Christ Jesus can be "infallible" in any way, all in contradiction to Scripture.
Error compounding error.

He said 'upon THIS rock...He DID NOT say 'upon YOU (Peter)...
Jesus CLEARLY was referring to Himself...

Christ himself was the rock that our church was built upon. Peter was a pebble...
