Once again you dodge my arguments and send out a red herring. No matter. Even if you could prove that such a leader was appointed, Acts 15:13-20 and Galatians 2:11 clearly demonstrate that Peter wasn't that one.
Your arguments are pretty much the same stuff that all Protestants use in their attempt to establish themselves as their own popes and to listen to no one but themselves. This is why people church hop. They keep looking and looking until they either find a church that preaches 100% what they believe, or they give up and then begin to worship in a "home church" and twist the Bible to justify that.
It is the same with Protestant pastors. I can remember more than one pastor I sat under who spent a sermon railing against "organized religion" and telling us "no one tells me what to preach" and etc.
That is not the humble and submissive attitude of a holy person. That is a rebellious spirit, pure and simple. It is the same rebellion that got the devil kicked out of Heaven and got us in all this trouble through Adam. Humble submission to God through His authority is a godly thing.
Go back and re-read my post with the Ray Sutton quote. Sutton is a Protestant, by the way, yet his point is valid (if not very ironic). Visible authority on earth is how God manifests his authority. To rebel against that authority is therefore to rebel against God.
Jesus made a public demonstration of giving the keys to the kingdom to one Apostle and one only -- Peter. Keys are symbolic of power. He who has the keys runs the castle. When Jesus gave the keys to Peter, He did so as the Master Who was going away on a journey to a far country and would return. He placed the safekeeping of His Kingdom into the hands of Peter and all those who would be his successors.
Some took the job very seriously and were godly and holy men. A rare few were scoundrels who lusted after the office only for the power and glory. But the office is the power, not the man. The office is the authority, and it is the office which the Holy Spirit protects from teaching theological and moral error. This is why, when all the Protestant assemblies in the world are caving to sodomite "marriage", abortion rights, and other heinous sins, the Catholic Church refuses to budge.
It has been this way through history.
The scriptures cannot contradict themselves. Your position contradicts the covenant structure of a kingdom, therefore, one or the other has to be wrong. Since the covenant is mentioned over 280 times in scripture, I will believe in and promote the covenant structure which God has placed in scripture before I will believe in your twisting of the Greek to try to prove that your rebellion and that of the Protestants is justified.
