Can you help me with Peter's presence in Rome?

[tparsons]

My wife and I who are catholic and are headed to Rome with two fundamentalist friends in February. Now with that said, they have on several occassions said that Peter was never in Rome and we have always believed that he has. They said no where in the bible does it mention that Peter was in in Rome and to say that we as catholics don’t subscribe to sola scriptura and that we believe in scripture, magisterial teaching and sacred tradition, that will not be a good answer to them. Can you please tell me how to answer them other than we don’t believe in the bible only theory?

Thank you!

Tony
