Jesus Christ appointed Peter as the first leader of his Church when He said:
And Jesus answering, said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona:
because flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is
in heaven. And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I
will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever
thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and
whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven.
(Matthew Chapt. 16)
