I have always admitted to private "musings." The important this is that I defer to the Church in the final analysis, no matter what I concocted in my head.
How many Bishops do you have who are married?
Zero. None.
If a Bishop wants to get married, does he have to stand down from his position?
Yes. That is the self-imposed Church discipline. A Bishop in the East is almost always drawn from the ranks of monastics who have given up their wordily treasures and devoted their entire life to Christ. They can also, in exceptional circumstances, be elected from the ranks of widowed priests.
***Yes. That is the self-imposed Church discipline. ***
That’s my point. Extra-Biblical church traditions opposing the Bible. In your church the Bible is secondary to whatever the church decides is right. There is no BIBLICAL requirement for the Bishop to be single. In fact, the Bible states that Bishops must be married to one wife.
