The Bible says nothing of the sort.

1st Timothy 3:2
A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife

1st Timothy 3:12
Let deacons be the husbands of one wife

.

Actually, one of the requirements is to be the head of a household in good standing. You can't do that if you are not married.

that's just a catholic tradition dude.

The bible doesn't say that.

Paul recommended that if you did choose full time ministry, not to marry. It's not a 'rule'
