Is your bishop married?
-A8
The holy Roman Catholic church does not recognize married bishops as valid as this article makes clear:
ArchBishop Installs 4 Married Bishops
From the article:
Milingo has said that the head of the Vatican's Congregation for Bishops has demanded he send a letter of repentance by Oct. 15 to Pope Benedict XVI or face "canonical suspension."
The Vatican said Milingo violated church law when he created "the so-called `Married Priests Now' association," and when he previously celebrated Mass with married clergy. A "canonical suspension" would bar Milingo from ordaining priests, leading Mass and performing other sacraments, according to the Rev. Thomas Reese, a Jesuit writer and expert on the church.
Milingo, 76, has had a troubled relationship with the Vatican for years.
So the Vatican, the home of the head of the Roman Catholic church, has established that their bishops can't be married. The bible says that "episkopos" can be married. No matter how you slice it, they're not the same thing. Which, as I said, it my point.
