We are looking for INFALLIBLE evidence not Catholic historians

Why such falsities? I pointed you to a Protestant history. Find one recent credible historian anywhere who doubts that Peter was executed and succeeded in Rome.

The problem is that scripture never puts peter in Rome but as a prisoner.

How is that a problem? History leaves no doubt. Do you also doubt that Caesar and Cleopatra were in Rome? You cannot support your assertion.

AS the 1st church met in Jerusalem it was presided over by James not Peter. Paul confronted Peter as an equal.

What is your point? Popes are able to delegate and to accept correction.

James becomes a believer after the resurrection, and interestingly appears to be the leader, and Paul affirms it by placing his name first on the list.

That is unauthoritative subjective opinion.

Peter never claimed headship for himself. He was a humble man that would rebuke what is said of him today

He did not have to. He was anointed by Jesus as Rock-Peter-Cephus and the Apostles always obeyed him. Never did they disobey.

Can the Pope be OVERRULED in matters of faith? That should be your first clue that he was not in charge and that he was not infallible.

Peter was never overruled. Never. Not once. He voluntarily accepted correction from Paul because Paul was right, no because Paul, "least of the Apostles," had higher rank.

When paul wrote to the church at Rome Peters name is no where listed

So? Probably Peter had not arrived by that time. Peter eventually retraced the path of Paul to confirm what he had taught, finally ending up in Rome where he was executed.

Peter was an obedient apostle Of Christ and he carried out with honor the work the Lord had ordained for him to do , and that work never included being a bishop to a gentile church

It was Peter who was first divinely inspired to liberate Gentiles from the OT laws at the Gentile household of Cornelius.

So we agree he was teaching error ...how infallible!

Indeed he did..That was a gift from Christ to his friend..THAT is what Christ meant by the keys to the Kingdom.....Keys are only good for one thing..to open doors, once opened they have no more value ..

Peter was the first to proclaim Christ as Savior... To open the door to the gospel to both jews and gentiles

Mat 16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. :17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed [it] unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

Peter was given the privilege of opening that very gospel to Jews and Gentiles.. BUT His primary ministry..ACCORDING THE SCRIPTURE was to the Jews.. and Paul to the gentiles..

Gal 2:7 But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as [the gospel] of the circumcision [was] unto Peter;
8 (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision,

Of Paul God says

Act 9:15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:

Rom 11:13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:

1Cr 1:1 Paul, called [to be] an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes [our] brother,

Peter writes to the scattered and exiled jews

1Pe 1:1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who reside as aliens, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, who are chosen

1Cr 3:19
