If he can do all this, why relegate him to a position of no advancement within the church, all because he’s married?
Again, absolutely no biblical requirement or command church leaders (priests, bishops/archbishops, cardinals, etc) be celibate.
None. the only thing stated is Paul’s PERSONAL opinion - as he says it is his own opinion - that if you are one of the few that can be celibate and not give into lust, it’s better to remain celibate. But for MOST they cannot do this.
His comments also were also in the context of any Christian, not targeted at church leaders.
Anyway, bye, I’m done.
You're grasping at straws to find objections.
Good night. I'm done,too.
