Cyprian of Carthage (~200 years removed from Jesus) > tool (~2000 years removed from Jesus)
Early Christians are clear, Peter is the rock.
Look at [Peter], the great foundation of the Church, that most solid of rocks, upon whom Christ built the Church - Origen of Alexandria, Homilies on Exodus 5:4 (c. A.D. 249)
As I follow no leader save Christ, so I communicate with none but your blessedness, that is, with the chair of Peter. For this, I know, is the rock on which the Church is built! This is the only house where the Paschal Lamb can be rightly eaten . This is the Ark of Noah, and he who is not found in it shall perish when the flood prevails - Jerome of Stridon, Letters 15:2 (A.D. 376)

Early Christians are clear, Peter is the rock.
There is NO POPE in the Bible.
End of debate.
Origen of Alexandria (200 years away from Jesus) > some random guy (2000 years away from Jesus)
Alexandria has nothing else that agrees with it.
Two witnesses make a fact, per the Bible, not one.
