Peter was never in charge of any churches, either.

How does the RCC reconcile that? Paul was entrusted with the care of the churches, with speading the word of God, and it was Paul who corrected Peter.

2 Cor 11:28 Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.

Amen. Score another one for Scripture.

Yes, note also in Paul’s letter to the Romans. Supposedly, Peter would have been the bishop there for many years and still would be when Paul wrote the letter, went there and was imprisoned. Not one mention of Peter ever, no greetings to him anywhere. And no help from him either if he was there!

It appears that if there was someone in charge in Rome, it wasn't going well

Romans 1:5

By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:

1:6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:

1:7 To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

1:8 First , I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

1:9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;

1:10 Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.

1:11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;

1:12 That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.

1:13 Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto ,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.
