Peter himself founded nothing; his work on behalf of the risen Lord Jesus was PART of the foundation of Christ's church. 1 Corinthians 3:11 - For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:19, 20 - Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, The doctrine and practices of the Catholic church came centuries later; the result of a departure from the faith. Study 1 Timothy 4:1-3 and 2 Peter chapter 2. [Quotes from NKJV]

When did apostle peter build church?
