Now now.

You should know by now, that the only ‘logic’ they allow is very rubbery pseudo-logic!

. . . preferably having NOTHING whatsoever to do with FACTS! Nor with authentic, objective, unrubberized, true history.

Seems to me that Peter didn't consider himself anything special.

1 Peter 5

1So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed: 2 shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly; 3not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock. 4And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.

Nor does Paul....

Galatians 2:9James, Peter and John, those reputed to be pillars, gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship when they recognized the grace given to me. They agreed that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the Jews.

It's doesn't say they WERE pillars, just that they were reputed to be. A very interesting choice of words and out of line of Paul if Peter had actually been appointed to the position of THE leader of the church as the Catholics claim. Peter was just an apostle to the Jews, not the Gentiles. Paul went to the Gentiles.

If the Roman Catholic church were the real church, why wasn't it mentioned in Revelation? No mention of it at all. The seven churches there would have been under its authority according to Catholic teaching and yet ZERO is mentioned or even implied about Peter or the RCC in that letter.
