Where did you hear this from, or did you make it up? I just graduated Valedictorian of 525 kids from a Catholic high school yesturday.
that just proves you were indoctrinated.
Jesus and Peter had NOTHING to do with the Catholic Church.
the concept of "Church" as used by the New Testament is ENTIRELY different from the concept of the word "Church" as used today.
The ROMAN CATHOLIC church was founded by CONSTANTINE (hence ROMAN CATHOLIC).
Jesus never founded a single church. again, the word "CHURCH" wasn't even known at the time of Christ.
the word e????s?a (Transliterated Ekklesia)
"We find the word ecclesia used in the following senses in the
New Testament: (1.) It is translated "assembly" in the ordinary classical sense
(Acts 19:32, 39, 41). " (

to go from "assembly" as in an assembly of people with a common belief to what the Catholic church as become today is a stretch.
the concept of church evolved over many years.
