When Jesus said to Peter "upon this rock I will build my church" (and was the Catholic church an offshoot of Peter's ministry in Jerusalem??), why then do so many modern ministers rely on Paul's doctrine?? What happened to split Peter & Paul? Which is more valid and why?

15. He (Jesus) saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
16. And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
18. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
The church is not built on the man Peter. It's built on the solid foundation of truth. The truth that Jesus is the Son of God. Jesus is the rock, not Peter.
The Roman Catholic church tries to lay claim to having the only means to salvation, and that they have it through the direct line of popes all the way back to Peter. Well, who made Peter a pope? who made Mary an intercessor? Man did, not God.
Paul's writings are greater in number than are Peter's, that is why Paul is referred to much more. Both are completely valid with what they say, and the only known problem was over Peters hypocricy. But Peter agreed with Paul when confronted, and changed his ways.
