In Matthew 18 Jesus said; “Whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven,” etc.
  1. Who was Jesus saying that to?
  2. Did He say this before he created His church through Peter?
Thank you.
 
Jesus said this to the disciples after He created His Church through Peter.

Except for the plural of the verbs bind and loose, this verse is practically identical with Matthew 16:19 and many scholars understand it as granting to all the disciples what was previously given to Peter alone.
 
In the 1859 Haydock Catholic Commentary, on Matthew 18:18, it says:Ver. 18. Whatsoever you shall bind, &c. The power of binding and loosing, which in a more eminent manner was promised to St. Peter, is here promised to the other apostles and their successors, bishops and priests. (Witham) — The power of binding and loosing, conferred on St. Peter, excelled that granted to the other apostles, inasmuch as to St. Peter, who was head and pastor of the whole Church, was granted jurisdiction over the other apostles, while these received no power over each other, much less over St. Peter. (Tirinus) — Priests receive a power not only to loose, but also to bind, as St. Ambrose writeth against the Novatians, who allowed the latter, but denied the former power to priests. (Lib. i. de pœnit. chap. ii.) (Bristow)
 
He actually said it twice in the Bible – Matthew 16:19 and 18:18. Once to Peter, once to all the Apostles.

Yes, thereby created the authority of the Pope and the Magisterium.

Take Care!
