“...There is only one Holy Father and it ain’t no faker in your Church...”

Agreed - there is only one Holy Father and no one said otherwise. (Matthew 6:9)

Peter was given the keys of the kingdom of heaven by Jesus himself in Matthew 16:19. The keys serve a similar function as those given to the steward/vice regent in Isaiah 22.

St. Peter did not become God the Father. No one thinks this.

Catholics use the entire bible as a cross reference to understand the context of a verse; they do not just pick verses out.

You are attributing the type/shadow of Eliakim to Peter instead of Christ?

Isaiah 22:

20 ‘Then it shall be in that day, That I will call My servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah; 21 I will clothe him with your robe And strengthen him with your belt; I will commit your responsibility into his hand. He shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem And to the house of Judah. 22 The key of the house of David I will lay on his shoulder; So he shall open, and no one shall shut; And he shall shut, and no one shall open. 23 I will fasten him as a peg in a secure place, And he will become a glorious throne to his father’s house.

The only glorious throne to his father's house is the One Christ sits on. Jesus Christ promised Peter one of the 12 thrones to judge Israel. Not "THE" throne. Plus the throne discussed is specifically in Jerusalem and over the house of Judah. There is only One who can take that throne...Messiah Jesus Son of the Living God born of the House of Judah.

But I understand what you posted is a personal interpretation of an OT text applying an eisegesis Unless you have an infallible interpretation of the RC magesterium you would like to provide?

If so then you would not object to a bit of exegesis.

Isaiah 22:

22 The key of the house of David I will lay on his shoulder; So he shall open, and no one shall shut; And he shall shut, and no one shall open.

Revelation 3:

7 “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write,

‘These things says He who is holy, He who is true, “He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens”: 8 “I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.

Is the above from Revelation chapter 3 also Peter and/or successors?
