Would parishioners then call the priest's wife ‘Mother’?

5 Don’t we have the right to take a believing wife along with us, as do the other apostles and the Lord’s brothers and Cephas?

If the wife divorces him, the priest has no personal assets to pay alimony or child support with. HMMMmmm... good point.
ANother question arises: Do priests buy Life Insurance?

You seem to have missed the point of the post, which was not about the Lord’s brothers (which they arem sons of the non-virgin Mary and Josepph) but about Peter

I’m pretty good at it, too :)
I guess, though, that I don’t see the point in this particular instance.
Help me out??

Why do non-Catholics care whether or not our priests are married? Survey after survey comes out that the priests are not in favor of marriage. Solved. The young ones coming up seem to be more conservative if anything. I like it!
Why can't they all just mind their own business?

Please tell me you know that meat was abstained from, not because it was meat? Same thing goes for celibacy! It's a discipline, entered into willingly.
Sex, sex, sex! Is that really all anyone cares about? I have known people who are not priests, who have lead celibate lives for various reasons. I can not get over the fact that every time this media made issue comes up, the same flock of chirping birds show up here.

It's not doctrine, it's tradition in the western rite, and I know you know that. You know most Catholics don't really care if they are married or not, why should you?
Have you ever talked to a real honest to God, burning with his vocation priest? I would gather the answer is no. Ask one, one time, what they want!
