"On the rock of this faith confessed by St. Peter, Christ built his Church" is a completely Catholic statement. Why is it even controversial?

I have only been Catholic around 12 years, so I am diffient about commenting, but I htink the usual breakdown is that RCs say Jesus meant He was building His Church on Peter, while Protestants (certainly that's the way it was in my seminary) say it was built on Faith.

Christ's Church is built on the faith of St. Peter revealed by the Father is the complete expression of it.
