On the contrary, to interpret "build my church" as a command to rule the whole Christian world as a pope is to turn the actual meaning on its head. Build and govern do not have the same meaning at all.The supposed distinctions you raise are irrelevant.
That cannot be irrelevant. And to interpret the POLITICAL position referred to in the Old Testament as the equivocal of the RELIGIOUS position of bishop of Rome in the New is obviously wrong.
Both of those theories--Papal Supremacy and the meaning of the keys--are refuted by the plain wording of Scripture itself.
