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)
Nevertheless, Evangelicals and Catholics have always affirmed Peter's authorship—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.

ISBN 9780061173943. My hunch is that the majority of students coming into their first year of seminary training do not know what to expect from courses on the Bible. ... Most students expect these courses to be taught from a more or less pious perspective, showing them how, as future pastors, to take the Bible and make it applicable to people's lives in their weekly sermons.
Such students are in for a rude awakening. Mainline Protestant seminaries in this country are notorious for challenging students' cherished beliefs about the Bible—even if these cherished beliefs are simply a warm and fuzzy sense that the Bible is a wonderful guide to faith and practice, to be treated with reverence and piety. These seminaries teach serious, hard-core Bible scholarship. They don't pander to piety. They are taught by scholars who are familiar with what German- and English-speaking scholarship has been saying about the Bible over the past three hundred years. ...
The approach taken to the Bible in almost all Protestant (and now Catholic) mainline seminaries is what is called the "historical-critical" method. It is completely different from the "devotional" approach to the Bible one learns in church.
