even Catholic scholars admit that there is no evidence for Peter's mythical sojourn to Rome.

Source? Are these "progressive" Catholic scholars?

Let's call them honest Catholic scholars and start here:

...we possess no precise information regarding the details of his Roman sojourn (Kirsch J.P. Transcribed by Gerard Haffner. St. Peter, Prince of the Apostles. The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume XI. Copyright © 1911 by Robert Appleton Company. Online Edition Copyright © 2003 by K. Knight. Nihil Obstat, February 1, 1911. Remy Lafort, S.T.D., Censor. Imprimatur. +John Cardinal Farley, Archbishop of New York).

If you possess no precise details, then how with a clear conscience does your magisterium continue to propagate the legend of Peter in Rome to the gullible congregants who just blindly drink it up without asking questions.
