"Paul and Matthew are converts and they’re a bit much with the zealotry."
So was Peter, if you think about it. Indeed, probably all the apostles.

Right, but Matthew had lived a somewhat dissolute life and Paul was on his way to kill Christians. Peter was fisherman leading an oridary life. Matthew and Paul can be a bit like strident ex-smokers.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not denying their holiness, it’s just I identify with Peter. He was chosen by Christ to lead the church despite his denying Christ. Since I am a sinner, it’s nice to know, it’s not a barrier to salvation. It’s a testimony to Christ forgiveness and understanding.
