Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. I also tell you that you are Peter (little rock), and on this (large) rock I will build my assembly." This simple truth is that Jesus lauded the ability to hear the word from God and confess it (the prophetic). Forget the stupid arguments of silly religious people motivated by their vested power interests.
For a second opinion, Ephesians 2 says "the household of God, being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone." Last time I checked, Jesus is alive according to our faith, not dead; one should wonder why are churchleaders so eager to replace him as the chief. We don't need either pope or pastor; we need faith in the living Son of Man (not to totally dis human leadership: which is a precious gift He gives; but let not the gift eclipse the Giver!). Anyone who wants to be a key stone needs to 1st get close to the living Jesus and 2nd get some capability to hear like Simon Bar Jonah.
The ability to spiritually hear God, and grok Him, is the foundation of Life, true life, on earth. This air is open for you to breathe.
