Bad Ideas, Bad Bishops

Proh nefas! episcopos sui sceleris dicitur habere consortes: si tamen episcopi nominandi sunt, qui non ordinant diaconos, nisi prius uxores duxerint: nulli caelibi credentes pudicitiam, imo ostendentes quam sancte vivant qui male de omnibus suspicantur: et nisi praegnantes uxores viderint clericorum, infantesque de ulnis matrum vagientes, Christi sacramenta non tribuant. Quid facient Orientis Ecclesiae? Quid Aegypti et Sedis apostolicae, quae aut virgines clericos accipiunt aut continentes: aut si uxores habuerient, mariti esse desistunt? Hoc docuit Dormitantius, libidini frena permittens, et naturalem carnis ardorem, qui in adolescentia plerumque fervescit, suis hortatibus duplicans; imo exstinguens coitu feminarum; ut nihil sit quo distemus a porcis, quo differamus a brutis animantibus, quo ab equis, de quibus scriptum est, Equi insanientes in feminas facti sunt mihi: unusquisque in uxorem proximi sui hinniebat. Hic est quod loquitur per David Spiritus sanctus: Nolite fieri sicut equus et mulus, quibus non est intellectus. Et rursum de Dormitantio et sociis eius: In camo et freno maxillas eorum constringe qui non approximant ad te.  Sanctus Hieronymus, Contra Vigilantium Source: Migne PL 23 340-341

For shame, there are bishops who are said to consort with him in his crimes, if one should name them bishops, who do not ordain deacons unless they have married; who believe no celibate to be chaste, indeed who show in what a holy manner they live with this suspicion of evil with the many, and who unless they see the pregnant wives of candidates, infants there wailing in the arms of their mothers, will not administer Christ's sacrament. What are the Churches of the East to do? What of Egypt and of the Apostolic Seat, who accept only virgins and continent men, or, if married men, those who abandon their conjugal rights? But such is the teaching of this Dormitantius, who loosens the reigns of lust, and the natural heat of the flesh, which in youth burns greatly, he would double; or rather he would have it extinguished by intercourse with women; and so then there is nothing to separate us from pigs, nothing whereby we differ from irrational animals, or from horses, of which it is written: ' They were to women like wild horses; everyone neighed after his neighbour's wife.'1 And This is what the Holy Spirit says by David: 'Be not like horse and mule which have no understanding.' And then respecting this Dormitantius and his associates: 'With bit and bridle bind the jaws of them who will not come near you.'2 Saint Jerome, from Against Vigilantius 1 Jer 5.8 2 Ps 32.9
