[Amendment10]

Regarding married priests, three of the gospels tell us that Apostle Peter was married.

Healing the mother of Peter's wife

Also, Acts 10:25-26 shows us that Apostle Peter had clarified that he was only a man. Proverbs 27:17 also tells us that as iron sharpens iron, man sharpens man. So with all due respect to Bishop Marian Elegant confronting the pope, why not sharpen Pope Francis by confronting him as Jesus taught us to do in Matthew 18:15?

Proverbs 9:8-9 tells us that Pope Francis might appreciate Bishop Elegant’s critiques.

On the other hand, Bishop Elegant can let us know if Pope Francis fails the Proverbs 9:8 test.

Corrections, insights welcome.

We know St. Peter WAS married, that's a fact. But those passages don't mention a living wife, even at the seriously ill mother's bedside.It's quite possible he was a widower.

Besides, Peter places himself among those who had given up "everything" (Our Lord mentions fathers, mothers, wives, brothers, sisters, children, homes --- in other words, normal family life --- ) in order to follow Him. These He praises, and speaks of their plentiful reward.
