“Peter was married.”
At one time. Was he still married during Christ’s three year ministry?
Christ wasn’t married - except to the Church.
St. Paul wasn’t married.
Priests don’t have to be married.
We do have some priests who are married. One of my best friends is a married priest. He is a huge proponent of celibate clergy because of his own experience. He used to be a Lutheran pastor.
... He used to be a Lutheran pastor....
Sounds like someone I know, would you be willing to share his name?

Mathew 8
14 And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother laid, and sick of a fever.
15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.
The Catholics holds Peter up as being the rock but it appears to me that it is in name only.
Peter never held himself as one with any authority he just did as Jesus told him, and that was to preach the gospel as on the day of Pentecost.
The Catholic doctrine of authority does not seem to come from Peter.
Show me a Church that preaches what Peter preached and I may join.
