And secondly the now elderly Father forgets that Peter was married and we strongly suspect that all the other Apostles (except John) were probably married,( so Jesus did not have a problem with married priests ) as were 39 popes married and many others had women friends ( platonic - oh yeah ) or boy friends.

Peter may well have been married by the time Jesus chose him. A mother-in-law can outlive their children,mine did. The Gospels only mention the mother-in-law,in case you hadn't noticed.

Father Ryland covered the mention of "women companions" in the letters.

If you can find any mention in the Four Gospels of any of the twelve apostles having a wife,please let me know. At this point,four years of asking,no one,Protestant or Catholic has been able to find mention of it. I would bet quite a bit of money that you won't either.
