A recent contributor made the oft repeated point that, since the
Bible mentions "brothers" for Jesus,
some sects assume Mary was no longer a virgin later in life.
There is a difference of opinion on this point between
Roman Catholic doctrine and the beliefs of various other Christian groups.
So be it.  
However, this contributor then went on to laugh at the
notion that Peter could be celibate as
all Popes are supposed to be because of the mention of a mother-in-law!
Who said Peter was celibate?  Celibacy under Roman Catholic doctrine
is very much a church law rather than one which comes directly from above.
