Stop trusting in false miracles. Peter isn't the cornerstone, but Jesus is and always will be. When a Catholic claims it is absurd that Jesus was pointing to himself that is itself an absurd argument and a strawman and shows ignorance of Scripture when Jesus told the Pharisees to tear down the temple, did he have to point to himself, no. God did with Scripture and Catholics forget this powerful verse including that the Tabernacle represented Christ. Did the Tabernacle point to itself? No, Catholics, and stop mocking with such strawman arguments. Jesus is the Rock and Cornerstone and stumblingblock who confounds the wisdom of the prideful so called teachers of this world. Stop trusting in Mary and trust in Christ, he didn't need and doesn't have an intercessor or partner, only the Holy Spirit and his Father are his partners in direct salvation, mankind is the preaching tool but cannot save like Jesus did and does. Forgiveness is also not doled out in pieces any more than Jesus suffered and died in pieces, spiritual salvation comes all at once, and doesn't end up in purgatory, hence Jesus saying "saved" past tense to those he forgave. He didn't say "your past sins are forgiven you" or "keep asking for forgiveness every time you sin to keep your salvation or to make it to Heaven" or "I forgive you for now" or "you are being forgiven", he said "are forgiven". Jesus saves, not us ourselves. Repent, be sorry and ask God for forgiveness, not some unforgiven hypocrite.
