Catholic tradition says that Saint Peter went to Rome, perhaps in the 60s of the first century, and became the first bishop of Rome. However, John W. O'Malley, S.J. says in A History of the Popes that no one piece of evidence states in straightforward and unambiguous language either that Peter went to Rome or that he died there.
Francis A. Sullivan says, in From Apostles to Bishops, that there is a general agreement among scholars, including Catholic scholars, that the church of Rome was led by a council of presbyters until well into the second century, with no evidence of a ruling bishop before this. The first bishop of Rome was probably either Pius I or Anicetus , in the middle of the second century.
