I always found it curious that the Catholic Church claims the priesthood comes down from Peter, the supposed first Pope,who, according to scripture, was married (Jesus healed Peter's mother-in-law). It was Paul who never married and was the Apostle to Rome (book of Romans written by Paul to the church in Rome). You might have guessed that I am a former Catholic. Started reading the Bible and left the Catholic church and went to an independent Christian church. Interestingly, my uncle, a Catholic priest, had no problem with it, which nearly caused my mother to faint.
