I'd like to know a few answers about this because Catholic say that the verse "You are Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church" claim that Peter(rock) was the first Pope, non-Catholics say otherwise.

One things everybody admits is that Peter was apparently called "rock"

Jesus was called "rock" and "cornerstone" and such.

I'm not saying that Peter is Jesus or anything but like to know why he was called rock, and would also like to know what Catholic and non-Catholics views on this is.

Does it matter if "rock" lower-case an order to mean it as a name?

Did it also mean something else?

Help would be appreciated on this!
