Becoming a priest is a vocation and a choice. One may serve God, certainly, in other ways. Regarding Peter, he was married before an apostle, but tradition has maintained he was celibate thereafter. Tradition precedes Scripture. Indeed only by Tradition can we know what was the authentic Scripture. You have put the cart before the horse.

The cart before the horse? This whole statement, were it not so sad, would be laughable. "Tradition has it..."

Where is this provable?

If Tradition precedes scripture, then why do we need scripture? If Tradition is what is needed to PROVE what IS scripture, why not rely on "Tradition" alone?

If tradition precedes scripture, and proves it, then certainly you can show, in Scripture where your claim is true.

EXACTLY!!!

Great post.

To believe “tradition precedes Scripture” means “tradition precedes the word of God” which is Christ.

Tradition precedes Christ.

Folly and so much worse.

Good point!
