text: Thanks for your response, Marty.  I read this about St. Clement of Alexandria, implying that Phillip was also married, along with Peter;
  
  'St. Clement of Alexandria says that Peter had children, that Philip had daughters, and that he gave them in marriage. The Acts of the Apostles specify St. Philip, whose four daughters prophesied, of whom it is believed that one was married, and that this one was St. Hermione.'
  
  Of course, the above might be interpreted to mean that Phillip also became celibate at a certain point within his marriage. But I don't think that the early Church solely had celibate ministers. In fact, from reading I Timothy, chapter 3, it seems pretty plain that they were mostly married. The translation below reads "overseer", but a Catholic Bible might translate it bishop - continued in the next comment;
