Well, OK, but all of the Apostles, including St. Peter, other than Paul apparently were married; many of the earlier Popes, at least as late as Pope Adrian in 872, were married and priestly cleibacy did not become required Church discipline until the Second Latern Council in 1139.

A documented source for that claim, please?

Incorrect. Suggest you carefully read the aforementioned work by Cochini. By the way, are you familiar with what Canons XXVII and XXXIII of the Council of Elvira, circa 302 AD, say?

Not a single one of these "facts" are correct. You've apparently taken them from a propaganda piece rather than from any serious research into the matter.
