In Titus it calls for Bishops to be married because they can relate to their flock better. I understand the concept of celibacy for dedication to the Lord but sheesh!

Paul is not commanding bishops (or priests) to be married at all, simply that if they are married, they only be married once.

I see that MARY is the largest figure on the altar.

Married clergy or not married clergy has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TENETS OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.

The Apostles Creed tells EVERYTHING that Catholics believe.’Period.

Anything else is Man-made and not the dogma of Catholicism.
Priests were married up to the eleventh century, I believe, and the MEN in the Church made other decisions. If they are allowed to marry now, it wouldn’t bother me one bit.

Was anyone else confused by the picture?

It could be inferred that those two MEN were married to each other!

Were’s the picture/name of the WIFE??
