for example we know for a fact that the first Pope, Jesus’ personally designated rock, Peter was married. the bible very specifically mentions his “mother-in-law”

Humor does not always translate well over the internet. With that said, I do not know if you're being facetious or not. Jesus did NOT designate Peter as Pope. The word pope is not in the Bible. Jesus was declaring to Peter that He Himself(Jesus) was the Rock of ages. Jesus is the Rock upon Whom the Church is founded. It can be no other way. Peter denied His Lord three times. And yet you would have this man as the foundation? Talk about sand for a foundation, you found it. Jesus is the cornerstone whom the builders (and apparently many churches) rejected.

The word pope is not in the Bible.

Neither are the words Bible, Trinity or Incarnation. A fact which doesn't seem to bother linguistic literalists like you.

As for the rest of your comments:

"Understanding this first, that no prophecy of scripture is made by private interpretation. For prophecy came not by the will of man at any time: but the holy men of God spoke, inspired by the Holy Ghost." 2 Peter 1:20-21

Neither does the Bible mention the Internet.
