That men are disqualified to be a bishop if married, is established. The only thing different in the East, is that a married man can be ordained a priest by a bishop, if worthy. But in the East up to now, the advantage was in favor of the State that can threaten a family even though a priest would be willing to give up his life for the Faith. It complicates priestly martyrdom, and it helps establish the Church as an instrument of the State. This is today less of a danger in Russia, where pro-family freedom is greatest. But it is increasingly more dangerous in the West that is slowly imposing a "soft" "dictatorship of relativism". It is here in the US and Western Europe and Canada that priest's children could be subject to pressure, brainwashing and indoctrination. Even Social Services does take a child away from a father or mother if found that the child is not being allowed, or even scolded, to "explore" his or her "options". A priest's wife could also be co-opted into a feminist or political agenda, and threaten to run away from a marriage, or threaten to take the children away,have an abortion, seek a divorce, or bring a husband priest to court for "verbal abuse" which restricts her "reproductive freedoms", or her "children's sexual orientation".

And Jesus said to them: Come after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. “<br /><br />“But he said to him: A certain man made a great supper, and invited many. And he sent his servant at the hour of supper to say to them that were invited, that they should come, for now all things are ready. And they began all at once to make excuse. The first said to him: I have bought a farm, and I must needs go out and see it: I pray thee, hold me excused. And another said: I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to try them: I pray thee, hold me excused. And another said: I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.”Tancredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16015531337154301560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4404498638452030181.post-72743382964474249922019-06-19T22:30:42.538-07:002019-06-19T22:30:42.538-07:00Like Peter probably most of the other apostles and...Like Peter probably most of the other apostles and most diocesan clergy in Europe into the tenth-eleventh centuries.Peter Watsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4404498638452030181.post-86528364987909132022019-06-19T21:15:45.277-07:002019-06-19T21:15:45.277-07:00Only idiots want a married clergy.
