Origen castrated himself, a self made un-man? and Ambrose forbade married bishops conjugal relations. sort of a Platonic arrangement as it were.

No, it’s not a new scandal but easy communication and the waning deference of the secular world to religious organizations means it’s more difficult to keep the lid on.

Origen castrated himself, ...?

I don't think that is known. I've read equally plausible conclusions on either side of the question.

and Ambrose forbade married bishops conjugal relations.

Ambrose of Milan? How could he forbid or permit bishops anything?
