[Campion]

God's command through the apostle Paul was that bishops be husbands and fathers

So I take it you don't allow single men to be called, nor infertile men to be called, and a "bishop" of yours who loses his wife next loses his job. Right?

Oh, and Jesus would not have been qualified to be a bishop in his own church. Right?

That is, if you really mean what you say you mean.

Hint: there's a big difference between a concession and a command.

Unlike some, I don't make up my own rules. I read them in the Bible.

Not that God has to explain himself, but if you want to understand why He made this rule, I suggest you consult the Bible...

"one who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence
(for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?)"

I Timothy 3:4-5
