For example, it’s argued that instances in the Bible where you see Peter and Paul arguing, or showing disunity, can be believed to be accurate with a reasonable degree of certainty, because revealing such things would have risked making the early Christians looked bad (airing dirty laundry).
In Acts the Council of Jerusalem makes clear that Peter, Paul, and all the apostle were of one accord so far as teaching goes. The personal relationship of Peter and Paul may at times have been tense, but I daresay in the Vatican today you would see even more tension among the successors of the apostles. It goes with the territory.
