That’s funny - I read the Scripture you posted and didn’t find the Roman Catholic Church mentioned. Did I miss somethin’?

You didn't find the exact name "Roman Catholic Church". Is that your complaint?
Jesus transferred His authority into Peter and the Church. He gave the "keys to the kingdom of heaven" to Peter and the Church. This is how the Catholic Church derives its authority. It was transferred from Jesus himself.
Or, do you think Jesus really meant to transfer all His authority into Rev. Timothy Lovejoy's First Church of Springfield?
Unlike the multitude of "churches" that have popped into and out of existence across the years, the Catholic Church actually traces its history back to Peter himself.
