Why Scripture...

LOL. This clown only cited Matthew 16 in all his verbosity, and that supports Catholicism.

You obviously failed to read any more from the link I provided. There are MANY scripture passages used. Perhaps if you had done so before rushing to call the author a “clown”, you might not look so clownish yourself?

Matthew 16 does not support Catholicism. “The rock” is not Peter, even though this is what Catholicism teaches. Instead, it is the revelation that Jesus is the Christ the Son of the living God. Because without that revelation there is no Kingdom and there is no church. And without that revelation Matthew 16:18 becomes totally purposeless. That is, there can really only be one rock, so it either has to be the revelation that Christ is the Son of the living God or Peter. To believe it is Peter is really a misunderstanding of Scripture. And that is why Catholicism has had it so wrong for so long.

If I was Peter, I would be mortified that for centuries Catholicism has glorified me rather than the Lord Jesus Christ himself.
