Peter, the first pope, and the apostles that Jesus chose were, for the most part, married men. The New Testament implies that women presided at eucharistic meals in the early church.

The only thing you are going to come up with will show you and anyone else that Peter was definitely married,at one time. We know this beause Jesus healed his mother-in-law. Since I was widowed at 27,it is not hard for me to understand that the mother-in-saw probably out lived her daughter,just as my mother-in -law outlived her son,my husband by about 25 years.
When you come back with anything different I will read what you wrote but you will not bcause it is not there.
I don't know whether the apostles were married or not. We know that at one time Peter certainly was. I don't think anyone here is arguing that there isn't precedent for a married priesthood. For me (and I believe most Roman Catholics who favor a celibate priesthood)I think the reasons are practical ones. I for one would much rather have a married priest than a practicing homosexual, but I really don't want a married priest at all. I like that the priest is a special, annointed figure in our community. I would be uncomfortable confessing sins to a married man.
I'm also not sure that St. Silverus was ever married.
With the exception of St. Peter, I believe that all of the popes you listed above were widowers whose wives had died before they entered the clergy.
