Jesus didn’t say He would build His Church on Peter as a man. In Matthew 16:18, Jesus says, “You are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church.” The key is in the Greek: “You are Petros (a small stone), and on this petra (a massive rock) I will build my Church.” The “rock” isn’t Peter himself, it’s the confession Peter just made: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God”. That truth is the unshakable foundation of the Church.

Throughout the New Testament, Christ is called the only foundation:
>For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ - 1Corinthians 3:11
>That Rock was Christ - 1Corinthians 10:4

Peter himself never claimed to be the foundation of the Church. In fact, in 1 Peter 2:6-8, he points to Jesus as the cornerstone, and calls all believers “living stones” in a spiritual house. He doesn’t place himself in a special category.
Yes, Peter played a vital role in the early Church, but he was also corrected publicly by Paul (Galatians 2:11), and never claimed supremacy. The idea of papal succession or infallibility is a much later invention, not found in the New Testament.

The Church is built on Christ, not on any man. He is the Head (Colossians 1:18), the cornerstone (Ephesians 2:20), and the only one with all authority in heaven and earth (Matthew 28:18). That’s the rock no storm can shake. Also cross reference Matthew 16 with Mark 8:27-30 and Luke 9:18-22, nothing about Peter having any kind of special authority or invisible succession-scepter to pass on.

In other words: You are the heretic here, and your Roman church institution is the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth.
