Christ gave the authority to St. Peter. How many times is Peter’s name in scripture? More than all the other apostles put together.

Peter - 156 verses , 162 times
Paul - 157 verses , 163 times

Peter is not "The Rock"

The Bible tells us who "The Rock" is

(1Co 10:1) Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

(1Co 10:2) And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

(1Co 10:3) And did all eat the same spiritual meat;

(1Co 10:4) And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

The rock Moses struck from which water flowed in the desert was suppose to be seen as a picture of Messiah.

Moses was instructed to strike the rock in Horeb and he did.

Exo 17:6 Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.

Later God told Moses to speak to the rock to get the water but Moses struck it instead.

Num 20:7 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Num 20:8 Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink. Num 20:9 And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him. Num 20:10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock? Num 20:11 And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.

God did not let Moses lead the children of Israel into the Promised Land because Moses struck the rock instead of speaking to it the second time.

Num 20:12 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them. Num 20:13 This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.
The Rock in the desert was suppose to be a picture of Messiah > struck once (die) > spoken to the second time to get the "LIVING WATER"

Uhmmmmmmmmmm NO Peter is NOT "The Rock "
Jesus is"The Rock" and "The Cornerstone"
Peter does NOT give us "Living Water"

Oh and if Peter was in charge of Rome then why was it Paul who wrote the Epistle to the Romans ?
