I've read it all many, many, times, and it is clearly referring to the FAITH of Peter (Simon). The Catholic church belief that communion wine and bread become the actual blood and body of Christ should be reason enough to realize how wrong the Catholic church is.
You stand with the Apostates who left Christ that night, Voltaire who mocked Christ, and the pagan emperor who persecuted the early church for their belief in the Eucharist. Reading scripture over and over is also a claim every Pharisee, Sadducee could have made. It proves neither wisdom nor understanding.
You have to ask yourself this question, "Do I remain a member of the Catholic Church because my family has always gone there?", or have you studied Holy Scripture, not the writings of past popes, and concluded that what the Catholic Church preaches/believes, is in agreement with Holy Scripture?
