Oh noes ronnierocket. Shes done pulled the race card equivalent about Peter being the rock. Protestants have no choice but to cower in fear when they pull that one out.Well it's all over then...Shut 'er down...
Forget the fact that you couldn't find Peter's church in the scripture if you turned and pointed the Hubbell telescope directly at it...
Forget the fact that Peter was instructed to seek out Jews to preach to, not Gentiles...
Forget the fact that Peter was rebuked by the apostle who WAS given the duty to teach and preach to Gentiles, especially to the Gentiles in Rome...
Forget the fact that Peter wouldn't be caught dead in a long robe with red shoes and something akin to my son's first cowboy hat...
Let's forget all that and much, much more because Jesus said, 'Thou are Peter and upon this rock I will build my church'...

And forget the fact that out of all the Disciples, only Peter denied his Lord three times. But let's build an empire on that one verse and skip over what it might really mean.

Acts 11 makes it clear he did go to the Gentiles. This is likely after Paul's rebuke

This rebuke is on matters of discipline, not matters of Theology. Papal Infallibility extends to matters of faith and morals, not discipline. Also, the doctrine is not that the Pope is impeccable.

This a matter of what the Pope wears. What you wear is rarely defined by the Bible.

You cannot ignore Bible verses you don't like just because they appear to contradict another verse. There is a connection between the two which you should consider.
