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.

Well,here I was waiting for a reply from you and reread my post. It demonstrates why I seldom argue-----I make mistakes and am a lousy proofreader. No wonder you didn't respond with that nutty first sentence. Sorry for thinking unkind thoughts.

What I meant to say,rather than "Peter may well have been married--" was,Peter may well have been widowed". Or maybe you knew what I meant and are still combing through the Gospels looking for evidence that any of the Twelve" were married. It's not there--guaranteed.
