ok, why aren't you listening to me, then? See how that can be made into self-serving yack, there?
And let's not forget that Christ called Peter "Satan" too, ok, which i understand does not fit with your program too well, oh well. But i don't expect you to reply to that, either, i guess that will just send you off on some other pointless, unScriptural rant.
And i never said "Christianity VS. Catholic," that came from you. And i got that "the headquarters of the Church is in Rome" from you, right here
"
Peter and Paul established the Church's earthly headquarters in Rome."
and asked you to back it up, which of course you cannot, because the Church has no "earthly headquarters," except in the minds of those who seek power and authority, like Peter did when Christ told him to get behind him, like you will be doing when you run out of arguments against Scripture and common sense. Some guy built an ice cream castle and put a crown on Peter, made up of a single verse with no witness, and you bought it, just like many other people who want to sit on a fence and direct traffic, and can't face Scripture head on, but need to feel superior to everyone else, so sorry about your luck, join the crowd on that wide, wide path.
Now i am not inclined to exegete Scripture to blind people, but since you asked, and intimated that i am claiming some Scripture is a lie, even though you cannot reply to my Scripture,
15“But what about you?” he asked.
“Who do you say I am?”
16Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
17Jesus replied,
“Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven.18And I tell you that you are Peter,b and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hadesc will not overcome it.
19I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will bed bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will bee loosed in heaven.”
20Then he ordered his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.
it becomes obvious that if you take the blinders off, and stop letting some guy covered in vainglory read/feed you little bits of the Bible from their warped, self-serving perspective that Christ the Messiah is the Rock, and 18a is installed as sucker-bait double talk because Peter means rock, and Christ was pointing at the Revelation, not Peter, who is after all called Satan" and even "evil" in more than one place by Christ, and also violates "the flesh profits nothing," and a bunch of other Scripture that i doubt you are familiar with, if It is even still in your human-altered version of the Bible, ok.
Furthermore, binding and loosing is given to anyone who follows Christ, which means you or me or anyone, and has nothing to do with Peter specifically, ok.

See that there is no "vs" because there is no competition, and you just need to choose, Catholic or Christian, what's it gonna be, and keep reading from your imaginary bible, if you want to stay Catholic, and if you ever want to crack a real One, recog that you are going to become an "ex-Catholic," just like streams, rivers; oceans of your predecessors have done. Personally i got no problems with Catholics, as long as they don't start pretending they know what Scripture says, and telling me Paul was suicidal and stuff.
I mean did you, at any time, give the people who taught you this stuff any money?
Lol. It is harsh, i know, but it is a completely fair question. Do yourself a favor and stop pretending you know stuff, when the Bible will assure you that you don't, and stop asking ignorant combative questions from "Why?" and face the music, if you want to get real. Deal with some of that Scripture that you glossed over, because your priest isn't answering your email on it or whatever. No offense meant.
