Now it's my turn to tell you to calm down. There are a LOT of Christians who don't believe in the authority of the pope. Why not ask this question to every Protestant on the planet? Peter was unique, he was special. There is no chain of John the Baptists, no chain of Saul/Paul, and fuck, if there's someone who should have been deified as much as Peter, it's Paul.
I'm sorry, I just don't buy it. I think a lot more would have been said about it if Jesus were naming Peter the King of the Chruch, with a title to pass down. It kinda seems important to have just been glossed over.

And regarding what you see and don't see in the Bible, I refer you to Seth's excellent point above.

Chapter and verse please?

And what about now? Since this conspiracy has gone on for so many centuries, and now we're in the age of easy access, why hasn't the Church been exploited for this horrible lie? Roman Catholics must just be really stupid and sheep like, right?

You believe what you're taught, and you think it makes you a good person. Why should you question it? It doesn't make you stupid, it just makes you normal.
I suppose you think every Christian who doesn't believe in the authority of the pope is stupid and sheep like for believing what they were taught? I should hope not, so get the fuck off your moral high horse already.
