this verse refers to bishops that were widowers

Where do you get "widowers"? It is not in the text, nor in the context.

It said that St. Paul is referring to widowers, not me.

It is not in the text,

It is implied. Is it your assertion that Scripture is always absolutely explicit?

nor in the context.

Based upon your interpretation. St. Jerome for one, who was a lot brighter than you are, disagrees.
