    If the man is not married he needs to wait. Like Moses who was called he chose not to wait on the Lord for the right timing to take place and was banished into the wilderness for 40 years. The man of God needs a wife to determine if he can lead the household of God according to scripture.

    And IF they have been ordained by say espisopal/Lutheryn church, their vocational calling would NOT be valid? IF they chose to stay single and celibete, or else could not have children if married?

    A man would not be called if he does not meet the requirements. There is no mystical calling apart from the desire to be an elder and the meeting of the qualifications of one.

    I don't consider any part of a priest's calling as legit to be honest. God doesn't call people to teach false doctrine.

    Was NOT referring to RC priests, but protestant ones...

    Or is their calling not valid either?

    If they choose to not marry find another line of work.

    I consider Episcopalian and Lutheran to be false.
