Like all things, Biblical literalists take this passage out of context.

You mean like passages on Peter being the rock, eating the literal body and blood of Christ, the keys of heaven and retaining and remitting sins?

When it suits Catholicism, they can interpret literally with the best of them.

Catholic and Orthodox Christians look at how difficult passages of scripture have been interpreted since the beginnings of Christianity unlike heterodox sects that reinterpret the scriptures to fit their prejudices.
