I know you spend so much time trying to fit Catholic beliefs into scripture but it doesn’t work. The dictionary surely isn’t a source you wish to use. Gay now means a homosexual according to the current dictionary. That would have made everybody in the 1920s a homosexual. Retrofitting is what the Catholic Church does but it’s not New Testament Christianity. And the pathetic attempt at explaining the benefits of being single from Paul’s letters may make you feel better but it’s still not what he said was REQUIRED for elders and bishops. There are REQUIRED to be married with children they have raised.

My Prayer to Our Mother Mary

Hail and praise be unto thee, Mary, whom God Almighty has exalted above all of his other servants!!
God has entrusted us unto your care and graciously grants any request that you make of Him on our behalf, if it is in accordance with His Divine Will.
Our hearts burn with zeal as we honor you, Our Mother.
We love you as a child loves a mother and you love us as mother loves her children.
Please guide us, your little ones, to our Eternal and Almighty Father God through our prayers and through your love for us.
Many in this world may slander and degrade you while still claiming to exalt God, please forgive them and pray for them for they may dishearten your devoted children.
May we be made worthy of the promises of Christ through your prayers.
You love us so freely and we are so unworthy of it.
You love us because God and Christ loved us first.
Mary, Mother, I love you.

Amen.
