Can Episcopal clergy marry?
Sure a bishop can marry. See for yourself at 1 Timothy 3:2. However, he should be a husband of one wife. In the Roman Catholic Church Bishops are taken from the priests and conscecrated. The current ruling in the Catholic Church is that Bishops may not be married. There have been at different times in the Church men ordained to the priesthood who have been married - currently we have ordained priests from the Episcopal church who are married. But in the Latin rite and in other rites, such as the Maronites, these married priests are never considering for the bishopric. All men when ordained to any major order in the church take a vow of celibacy which means that if ordained as a deacon and their wife dies, they may not remarry. So, there may be married priests or deacons, but not bishops; and no ordained clergy could ever get married.
