The Bible says nothing about Peter's wife, only about his mother-in-law. Maybe she was dead by the time Peter became a disciple. In any case, Rome imposes its discipline only on men who volunteer to live celibate lives. How is this fundamentally different from the demand of certain churches that their pastors not get a divorce?
That's kinda of stretch don't you think? If nothing is historically documented about Peter how would one even come to your conclusion?
"Rome imposes its discipline only on men who volunteer to live celibate lives. How is this fundamentally different from the demand of certain churches that their pastors not get a divorce?"
The difference is that Rome is violating God's word. "Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth."
They gave up that second violation. Good for them. Keep going, Romans.
