Peter tried to get in the way of God's will (Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee) when Jesus said He was to suffer and die. Jesus called your first "pope" satan (Meaning an adversary of God's will) for doing so. Hence anybody else would have received the same rebuke.
"From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day."
God's will for Jesus was revealed to them after realizing He was Jesus the Christ. Again anyone standing against God's will for Jesus would be an adversary of God. Who would want that?

You’re still assuming. Plain and simple.
Peter is not Mary.

Peter tried to get in the way of God's will . . . anyone standing against God's will for Jesus would be an adversary of God. Who would want that? Then why don't you post for us the Lord's last recorded words to Peter and explain, in light of them, how He felt that Peter was his adversary.
God changed the names of many people in the Old Testament and with each one, their role in leading His people changed significantly. The ONLY person's name changed by God in the New Testament was Peter, why would you not believe that this was indicative of a new role.
