Christ is the leader of the church. Period. It is His church. He is it’s head. At no time was Peter, or any man the head of the church. At no time.

Yes, I agree with you. However, what we mean by "leader of the Church", is Christ's point of contact on the earth. Christ would instruct Peter and Peter would delegate to the others.

A great example of this is Revelation 1.

1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:

God the Father gives to Jesus, who then gives to His servant John, who writes it down and gives it to the people.

[MarDav]

Heb 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Heb 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son,

God has spoken through many individuals down through the ages. Each of the human authors has been spoken to by God through His Spirit to record for us the things He wants us to know of Him. None is of any greater value in God’s eyes. None has He called to be the leader of the church.

This is the very slippery slope upon which false prophets and cult leaders make their stand.
