Peter as an elder would naturally have related his experience with the good news being made available to the Gentiles but as you say, it was James who was taking the lead.

The Catholic church has attempted to bolster it's authority by tradition, looking back and claiming roles for Peter and others like someone named Clement whereas there is no support in the Scriptures for these claims.

And when tradition and Scripture conflict it will always be tradition that is favored..

Martin Luther’s “Bible Alone” is a heresy. Way to go~@! You are coming along admitting there is tradition.

Go further, realize you accept some tradition. Don’t take it so personal, you didn’t break away from the Church, you are following what you’ve been taught.
