""To their own destruction". I'd take that as a warning if I were you"
It is facinating that you would quote (2 Peter 3 ... "also our most dear brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, hath written to you: 16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are certain things hard to be understood, which the unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction.") in the same paragraph where you quote from 1 Timothy 3. Paul there lays out the qualifications for Pastors and deacons in the (1 Timothy 3: 15 ... "the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth") one of the most obvious being they must be married to one wife and have their children under control.
Now which church has misinterpreted this?
"...which the unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction.")"

I am looking at this passage from 2 Peter and the key words seem to be "unlearned and unstable". If someone is versed in the SCRIPTURES and is not suffering from a mental condition that would make them unstable it seems that we should be able to discern when SCRIPTURE is being twisted and perverted. All the more reason to study SCRIPTURE, so no one may lead you astray.
Catholic priests are married to one wife, Christ's church, and have their children under control, except the prodigal ones.
