Who got hurt by his going forth and multiplying? He continued to do his job well enough to be a Bishop. Apparently, celibacy isn't required for the efficent discharge of his duties. it's clearly not required in Protestant sects, nor in Judiasm, etc.Now, we all know the priest celibacy thing is not in the Bible and is a relatively recent doctrine imposed by the Church to protect Church property back in the day, but I guess it shows you CAN be good at doing priest/bishop things (assuming these children are his only "Crime") and not be celibate. Trust me, I'm not saying that he was right...he knew the rules going in and should lose his job, but it points out the silliness of the celibacy doctrine.
