>> As to the duration of his Apostolic activity in the Roman capital, the continuity or otherwise of his residence there, the details and success of his labours, and the chronology of his arrival and death, all these questions are uncertain, and can be solved only on hypotheses more or less well-founded.<<

Yeah, no kidding. Peter was the apostle to the Jews. Paul wrote to the Romans naming many among them and ministered among them and not a word about Peter there.

The rest is all second or worse and conjecture. If Catholics believe it was Rome that was referred to in Peter’s writing than they must also agree that Rome is the Babylon of Revelation.
