No he did not. He called himself sympresbyteros. You translate that, -- you are the one with the dictionary.

My dictionary says it means "co"elder. One on an EQUAL level. It only validate my point.

Yes, the Early Church ordained married men into priesthood. Now we don't in the Latin Church. Where do you see a "pickle"?

You're no longer following the traditions established by the Apostle Paul. So much for Apostalic tradition.

The equality is not necessarily implied by "sym", but indeed St. Peter is priest. Any pope is.

The Pauline advice here is not on a matter of faith but on a church discipline, which indeed changes with the times. The substantive part of his teaching is that priests must lead chaste life.
