Not even close, no. When he said "upon this rock I will build my church, he wasn't talking about Peter (which is where the mistake comes in because Peter can be translated as rock or stone), but rather upon the confession Peter had just made: "You are the Son of God". This statement, this confession of truth, is what the church is built upon. That Jesus Christ was the Son of God. Without that cornerstone of belief, nothing else stands.
