1. The first Pope, Peter was married. Case closed

Its not closed....and you cannot say with certainty we know Peter's wife was as alive at the time of Christ's calling

Besides...we know what THE LORD expected of his Apostles....
27 Then Peter answering, said to him: Behold we have left all things,and have followed thee: what therefore shall we have?

28 And Jesus said to them: Amen, I say to you, that you, who have followed me, in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit on the seat of his majesty, you also shall sit on twelve seats judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

29 And every one that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall possess life everlasting.

[Cronos]

There are 22 other rites. The others all allow married men to become priests.
