Why's Matthew the only book which includes, "That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church;" if the church is so important?
Clearly, which is why you're holding it to higher standards than many other things related in the Gospels. But it *is* in the Gospels!

That is not what I am doing. The catholic church exalts its legitimacy as true church above many of the other things in the gospels.
-
Nonsense, it can cite its legitimacy in the Gospels, but doesn't exalt that passage above the rest.
-
The passage in question is how Simon came to be called Peter, yes? Do they not call him Peter in the others? Or the letters?
-
How many times would the story of why Simon became Peter need to be related before you'd accept it as canon?

I am attempting to determine what Jesus meant with the statement, rendered difficult as none of the others even mention it.
-
He seemed pretty clear in his statement to me. Sure your difficulty in determining his meaning isn't because you don't want to face it?
-
It is not remotely clear that the catholic church, the vatican, is what Jesus intended, especially when compared to the gospels.

The gospels were written intentionally. If the "Q source" hypothesis holds, Mark and Luke intentionally left it out or found it unimportant.
