The Catholic Church naturally admits all historical facts, including the historical fact that they have existed since they were founded in the year 33 A.D.
There are numerous saints, and extant writings from the three centuries that the Church existed until Constantine allowed Christians to legally practice their faith. Why would anyone question those facts?

What concessions did the Catholic Church make with Constantine?
You may read a full discussion of Constantine at the link below. To the best of my knowledge the Catholic Church, which is the Mystical Body of Christ made no concessions to Constantine, rather, Constantine's mother was a Catholic, and Constantine was a catechumen, converting on his deathbed. Constantine, also legalized Christianity, and stopped the persecution of the Christians.

How did Constantine divide the Roman Catholic Church?
Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is rarely used by the Catholic Church. Constantine was Emperor of Rome who removed the penalty for being a Catholic, he, himself, converted before he died, but was not a Catholic for most of his life. He did not divide the Church.

In the Orthodox Church he is. Not in the Catholic Church, though his mother, Helena, is.

Emperor Constantine did not found the Catholic church, Christ himself did through the 1st Pope St. Peter. Constantine converted the pagan Roman empire to Christianity in the 4th century after receiving heavenly signs prior to a battle which he won.
Why did Constantine select the independent Catholic grouping in Rome and not the independent Catholic groupings elsewhere to formalize the Catholic Church under Roman authority?
You are confused, first of all, there is no "independent Catholic grouping", there is just the world-wide Catholic Church under the successor of St. Peter. Our Blessed Lord has only established One Church, and, as it is His Body, It will remain ONE until the end of the world. Secondly, Constantine did not select anything, and did not "formalize" the Catholic Church. All Constantine did was to make Christianity legal. The center of the Catholic Church as always been in Rome since St. Peter went there, and died there. Constantine legalized Christianity, but did not become a Christian, himself, until on his death bed.

Jesus started the First Church which was the Catholic Church. Martin Luther started the Lutheran Church.
