"Not all of your Priests are married and your Bishops are selected exclusively from the ranks of celibate Priests."

I know that, AAC. Did you think I didn't? The overwhelming numbe of our priests are married. The celibates are all monastics, though not all monastics, indeed only a small percentage of them, are priests. Virtually all bishops were at one point monastics, but on occassion we do have a bishop who is a widower.

Just pointng out to the neophytes reading this thread that you omitted the truth in your statement "Our priests are married, as you know." Since all of your Priests are, indeed, not married.
