Why did the bishop of Rome claim to have authority over all bishops?

Who are the modern-day successors of the Apostles?
A:The Church considers its bishops to be the successors of the apostles. At first, there was no particular bishop designated as the specific successor to Peter. Pope Anicetus (156-166), during the course of a theological argument with the venerable Polycarp of Smyrna, claimed that Peter had travelled to Rome to lead the Christians there and had been beheaded in Rome, meaning that he (Anicetus) spoke with the authority of Peter. From this time forward, the bishops of Rome increasingly insisted that they were the successors of St Peter, until it is now an article of faith that they are.

Why is it important in the Marsilius's criticism of the Petrine Siri that the Bible never say is peter even visit Rome?
Marsilius's criticism is based on his belief that the papal authority claimed by the Petrine theory rests on shaky foundations. By pointing out that the Bible does not explicitly mention Peter's visit to Rome, Marsilius challenges the traditional notion that Peter established the papal lineage in Rome. This critique undermines the historical basis for papal supremacy and the authority claimed by the Church.
When was the central authority of the Vatican established in the Catholic Church?
A:The central authority of the Pope, as bishop of Rome, was not really established until after the Great Schism of 1054. When Constantine gave patronage to the Christian Church, there was no special role for the bishop of Rome. The Council of Nicaea created the role of Metropolitan, with the bishop of Rome as one, who was no more than equal to the others. Even when Emperor Theodosius made Christianity the official religion of empire in 380 CE, it was "as taught by the bishops of Rome and Alexandria." Gradually, the Pope, based on the tradition of Peter as the first bishop of Rome, claimed priority over the other Patriarchs, but they only conceded him to be "first among equals." The Schism meant that the Pope would become the leader in the West, although important decisions were still under the authority of Councils of bishops. Gradually the Popes centralised more power to their position. Finally, the First Vatican Council defined the doctrine of papal infallibility in 1870, although Pope Pius had already invoked this claim in 1854. Vatican City, as an independent ecclesiastical state, was created in 1929.
Which two Christian apostles died in Rome?
The apostles commonly believed to have died in Rome are Peter and Paul. However, there is no evidence that Peter ever went to Rome, and, while Paul no doubt went to Rome, it is uncertain that he died there. However, the greatest prestige that the bishops of Rome enjoyed in the early centuries of Christianity accrued to them because they claimed to be the custodians of the tombs of Saints Peter and Paul.
How many previous bishops of Rome have there been?
