Since the Catholics believe that Peter was the first pope - scriptures teach us that Peter WAS married. His mother-in-law is referenced in Matthew 8:14, 15:

Scripture teaches us that Peter was married at one time. Scripture makes no mention of his wife. If you think you've got a smoking gun there, which you don't, ponder the following exchange between Peter and Christ:

"Then Peter answering, said to Him: Behold we have left all things, and have followed Thee: what therefore shall we have? And Jesus said to them: Amen, I say to you, that you, who have followed Me, in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit on the seat of His majesty, you also shall sit on twelve seats judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And every one that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands for My name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall possess life everlasting. And many that are first, shall be last: and the last shall be first." Matthew 19:27-30

"Then Peter said: Behold, we have left all things, and have followed Thee. Who said to them: Amen, I say to you, there is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake, Who shall not receive much more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting." Luke 18:28-30

It is you who is missing the truth of the Scriptures. Peter, was in fact married and the Bible doesn’t give us much more than what I referenced. Jesus didn’t commend Peter for leaving his wife - he was merely saying that we should put Him first.

And, you are wrong - the Scripture DOES teach us that Peter WAS married. I gave you the book and verses. Maybe the Catholic Bible took this out, but it certainly is in there. Matthew 8:14&15 clearly tells us that Peter’s mother-in-law was sick. One can’t have a mother-in-law unless one is married. Smoking gun? Not really - all non Catholics are aware of this. Perhaps you should read the Bible for yourself and not be spoon fed by anyone.
