we see nowhere where Peter is given any authority unique to him

The Keys are given to him alone, he alone is renamed so that to associate him with the foundation of the Church, and he alone has the prayer of Jesus to "confirm his brethren" (Luke 22). Read scripture much?

not given a new name at the time he was given the "keys".

That Jesus predicted the renaming the first time He met Peter does not nullify Metther 16 where the complete account of the actual renaming is given.

The Catholic Church does not teach the Church was built on Peter but upon his confession of faith

True. Neither I said that it was build on Peter in any physical way. Peter is associated with the foundation of the Church. Why? Indeed, because of his sterling faith.

Peter was one among other leaders at this "council" and was subordinate to James

Not what the scripture said. Peter rose, spoke, and all agreed. St. James as the presider, approved the letter.

Bunk! Jesus did not "predict". He named him "Peter" then and there.

More bunk! James "my judgment is..." presided and pronounced his judgment.
