 St. Peter's - Guide to Basilica & Square   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
In this basilica, Peter's tomb, closed on three sides, was open toward the East and the faithful could see it until the time of Pope Gregory the Great (590-604), when the pavement was raised and an altar built over the tomb, over which another was later built by Callistus II (1119-1124).

 The Role of Peter
Peter replied, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus agreed with Peter’s statement and used it to teach that He Himself will be the rock, the foundation, upon which the Church will be built.
Peter may have visited Rome, but to confer on him the position held by Catholicism is, as we will now see, at best an argument from silence and at worst, a complete rejection of the entire thrust of New Testament teaching.
Peter’s argument is accepted, but it is a case of one man among equals, not one man in a position of papal supremacy.

 Was Saint Peter the first Pope?
But while Peter was central in the early spread of the gospel (part of the meaning behind Matthew 16:18-19), the teaching of Scripture, taken in context, nowhere declares that he was in authority over the other apostles or over the Church (having primacy) (see Acts 15:1-23; Galatians 2:1-14; 1 Peter 5:1-5).
Rather there is only one reference in Scripture of Peter writing from “Babylon,” a name sometimes applied to Rome, found in 1 Peter 5:13; primarily upon this and the historical rise of the influence of the Bishop of Rome comes the Roman Catholic Church teaching of the primacy of the Bishop of Rome.
However, Scripture shows that Peter’s authority was shared by the other apostles (Ephesians 2:19-20) and the “loosing and binding” authority attributed to him was likewise shared by the local churches, not just their church leaders (see Matthew 18:15-19; 1 Corinthians 5:1-13; 2 Corinthians 13:10; Titus 2:15; 3:10-11).

 Simon Peter: A Pope for All Seasons - June 1998 Issue of St. Anthony Messenger Magazine Online
Peter’s modern-day successor, Pope John Paul II, is a positive model for many who like his no-nonsense way of handling controversial issues and theologians; a negative model for others who lament his allegedly tightfisted, authoritarian rule.
To enter Peter’s world is to replenish one’s sense of the sacred, obscured in the fog of contemporary secularism—God’s presence in the Church, the forgiveness of sin, the power of divine grace.
Beyond Peter’s skills as a leader lay the magnetic humanity of the man. He was colorful, comical, spontaneous, capable of colossal moral failure yet resilient to the point of heroism, brimming with enthusiasm for life and for Christ.
