“Not forbidden unless you are a bishop.”

True?? For 2nd century Christians??

After some research I found it did exist - more than one wife at the same time - but it also always seemed to be controversial even when admitted, with those in the churches who opposed it, some who accepted it, and within each century became more opposed and denied as Christian; when by the 1800s most any Christian thelogians opposed it.
