I had time to read through the tract on catholic.com that you linked to. It's a pretty good read. They bring up the same point I did - "On the other hand, if Peter never made it to the capital, he still could have been the first pope, since one of his successors could have been the first holder of that office to settle in Rome."
A little later, it says "No, somehow the question [of Peter ever being in Rome or not], while interesting historically, doesn’t seem to be crucial to the real issue, whether the papacy was founded by Christ."
