"Peter you are rock and on this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against you, I give you the keys to the kingdom, what-so-ever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, what-so-ever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven"
Johns gospel, "Feed my sheep."
Now here is one of the problems of scripture. Punctuation. I can read that verse to mean something quite different than you do. What more, The position you hold has never been universally held by the whole church. And - if that was not enough - even that does not imply that Peter was in charge or that those who hold his "see" after him hold the same authority. As for Binding and loosening - Christ gave those powers to all the apostles NOT just peter.
As for feeding sheep that makes one a SERVANT not a Prince or a leader.
So . . . I still do not see Christ saying - Peter, youre in charge.
