medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Without wishing to enter into the theological question of whether
Joseph had other children, I suggest that his fatherhood of Jesus is
relevant if one considers fatherhood as other than biological. Think
for example of adoptive fathers.
Saint Peter is a father in some sources. See for instance St.
Petronilla in Catholic Encyclopedia.
