cringe.

The absolute state of Protestantism.

proof?

Ante-nicene (i.e.THE First Christians) church fathers record it.
They also record that Peter was never pope lol.

Where and who? Any firsthand?

Second hand, several decades after the fact. Eusebius comes to mind, though he writes around 300 Ad. He is taking his info from much earlier writers that have been lost to time.
There are earlier accounts you can find but they slip my mind.
Summary: Peter and Paul both were in Rome around 65 Ad, ministering to the church there, and were executed by Nero. Neither of them were bishop, but Linus was the first bishop.
First advocate for Peter being bishop of Rome was Damasus in the mid 300s AD, who was, coincidentally, bishop of Rome.

There are also ante-nicene figures such as Cyprian, bishop of Carthage, who vehemently opposed Roman primacy during the time people started using the church at Rome as an intermediary to settle inter-church disputes.
