Talk:Saint Peter

Why not mention Peter was married?
I see in the Archives that there is sufficient reliable evidence that Peter was married, & there is an early tradition that he possibly had a daughter. Adding this reminds us that there is more to the man than being a religious figure: he had a private life too. The only reason to omit this is to promote the image that all early Christians were chaste & flawless -- even though Peter is known for his moment of weakness. -- llywrch (talk) 06:51, 7 April 2023 (UTC)


 * It is not omitted, it is already mentioned in the first paragraph of Saint Peter. SanctumRosarium (talk) 09:11, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
 * As an aside, the private life mention reminded me of a conversation with a Theologian who is now, unfortunately dead, that he believed that 'Simon Peter' was actually 'Simon the Rock', because he couldn't swim. For a fisherman this would be something unusual enough to become part of his name. Hard to prove, but interesting alternative point of view, nonetheless.

Dubious claim
&mdash;while I may agree that most Evangelicals assert the Petrine authorship, I don't think that holds for most Catholic Bible scholars. Perhaps for the Magisterium of the Church and for most of the clergy, but Bible scholars are quite another kettle of fish.

Bible scholars who are Catholics are under no obligation to kowtow to traditional dogma, but often call a spade a spade.

Can someone revert vandalism
Some user changed the aramaic to hebrew, and even used a wrong template in the info box Akhshartag (talk) 21:03, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
 * This edit. Certainly not vandalism, & I suspect he's right that Hebrew was the nearest literary language. I don't know how to fix the template. Johnbod (talk) 21:26, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

Which you know from what source?

Don't be ridiculous. It's a short article from a dictionary. It has been specified well enough for WP:V purposes. tgeorgescu (talk) 01:34, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
