If you insist on putting words in my mouth, this discussion is not going to end well. There is nothing that rouses my temper quicker. Point out to me where I said that "Rome created the Church". I said, repeated, and repeated again, that Peter is the Rock on which the Church is built, and I said so because I have Our Lord's word for it. If Peter had stayed in Jerusalem or in Antioch, then it would be those in communion with the Christian authorities of those cities, the successors of Peter, who would be the enduring Church. Peter went to Rome. And the successor of Peter went sometimes to Viterbo, sometimes to Avignon, sometimes to Venice. Will you please answer the things I actually write?
