As Brian Tierney pointed out in Foundations of the Conciliar Theory, many
exegetes identified the petra with Christ. I am reminded too of the image
of the Church as a ship which cannot be sunk; see c. Non turbatur in
Gratian's Decretum [C. 24 q. 1 c. 7], which is based on the gospel story
of Christ walking across the waves to the ship in which the apostles are
beset by a storm on the Sea of Galilee.
