John 14:23-24 is beautiful. Catholics fully agree: loving Jesus means keeping His words.
In Matt 16:18, it’s no mere prophecy. Jesus renames Simon ‘Peter’ (Rock/Kepha) and says, ‘On this rock I will build my Church,’ giving him alone the keys. Peter leads in Acts; Jesus tells him to feed His sheep (Jn 21). The early Church understood Peter as the visible rock on Christ the cornerstone.
