Yet we see Priscilla teaching.
Acts 18:24 And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.
25 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.
26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.
I wish they would let their clergy marry before being ordained since I don't think single men should be looking for wives when they're priests or bishops. The ladies would be all a flutter trying to see who got to marry the prize. I think I also agree about not marrying again while a deacon.
I wish they insisted on the male clergy having a wife before promoting them so they could see that the man treats his wife and children well, understanding how to discipline others with wisdom and love. Instead they interpreted "one wife" as "no more than one." They said "one" could equal zero. Paul even tells why he thinks a bishop should have "one" wife.
1 Timothy 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
The Orthodox Church is closer to Paul's teaching. If someone is single when ordained, he must remain single. If he is married, he stays married. Peter did fine as Bishop of Rome with his wife, didn't he?
The Catholic Church believed they understood human psychology better than Paul. They encouraged celibacy, even insisted on it. The Catholic Church wouldn't have had so many scandals with priests and bishops if they had followed Paul's advice. Add to that, when their priests are always unmarried, gay men who know they don't want to marry women are attracted to the priesthood.
Paul gave sound advice, and anyone who cares about the welfare of the sheep would want to make sure the people that become shepherds show evidence of resembling shepherds. If anyone cares about the reputation of the Church, he would want to avoid scandal by looking for that evidence before entrusting them with a congregation. Surely I can see allowing some single men to be priests, but only with the greatest of caution. Some practices do need to change over time as culture changes; but love should steer decisions made about them. The evidence stares us in the face: Unmarried priests and bishops led to a lot of trouble. The current practice is unloving, so why not go back to Paul advised?
