Christ is indeed the cornerstone.

And Christ says:

You are Cephas and upon this Cephas I will build my church.

Are you claiming that Christ woefully deceived us when He said this?

The Church is built upon Christ. And yet Christ claims that He will build His Church upon Cephas.

Both statements are necessarily true. Start from there, and one begins to get a feel for why the Pope is called the Vicar of Christ.

Uh, no. Start from there and you see that the church is built upon Evangelism as practiced by Peter and the other Apostles. Peter is a model missionary, willing to suffer even a terrible death as a result of his work. That is the reference Christ made regarding Peter.

Catholic edifices are almost entirely man-made off-topic contrivances designed for secular governance of an ignorant population.
