Did the first Pope Peter have children?

Answer 1

Catholic Answer No. Although he was the last non-priest to be elected to the papacy, there is no report, whatsoever, of him having any children. He is most famous for issuing indulgences in return for alms to rebuild St. Peters.

Answer 2

Peter was married but we have no record of any children. Some ancient legends say he had a daughter named Petronilla but that has since been proven to be false, although she may have been a convert, relative or coworker of Peter.

Answer 3

The Bible mentioned the St Peter has a mother-in-law and he was married but having children was not mentioned.

Answer 4

One tradition says that Peter had at least one daughter but there is no confirmation of this.

Answer 5

Peter was married but we have no record of any children. There is a legend, unproven, that he had one daughter.
