Paul mentions Peter in his epistles as a pillar of the church in Jerusalem, but there is no suggestion in Paul's writings that Peter founded this church or any other denomination.
The second-century Pope Anicetus, wishing to demonstrate that he spoke with the authority of Peter, reported that Peter had travelled to Rome to lead the congregation there, and had been beheaded in Rome. A century later, Origen changed this to say that Peter was sentenced to crucifixion but, feeling unworthy of being crucified like Jesus, asked to be crucified upside down. Taken literally, this made Peter the first real leader of the Christians in Rome and thus the predecessor of the Catholic pope. However, Clement of Rome, thought to be a predecessor of Anicetus, wrote about Peter in 1 Clement, but does not appear to have known that Peter ever visited Rome.
