>>I know one Episcopal Bishop who is celibate and is also a Roman Catholic monk.

These are mutually exclusive. Odds are he was ordained in the German Catholic (another schism) Church as many Episcopalians Priests are. The German Church has apostolic lineage while many Episcopalian Bishops do not. These priests who get ordained in both churches are hedging there bets.

Nope, he was ordained in California. When he was being voted on for Bishop many people protested because of his Roman Catholic monk status. The Roman Church did a special dispensation for him. Most thought in the liberal church he could not get elected Bishop, because he is too conservative.
