Be careful. What you are saying is true. But it does not follow from that that it is "Not the same job description at all". The bishops together decided that it was better for the Church that the office of bishop be restricted to unmarried men.

Well then you agree with my original point. The biblical "episkopos" is not the equivelent of the modern Roman Catholic "bishop". As pointed out by you, tradition has defined the requirements for the Catholic bishop. It has passed from the realm of "biblical" to "traditional". Since I don't invest any authority in a tradition that contradicts the bible, and you do, than there's not much left for discussion.

There is no contradiction. Not being the husband of two or more wives is compatible with not being a husband at all.
