Canon 12 Bishops may not live with their wives

And this too has come to our knowledge, that in Africa and Libya and in other places the most God-beloved presidents in those parts do not decline to live with their own wives even after the ordination that has proceeded upon them, placing before the peoples a stumbling-block and a scandal. Since therefore we have much zeal to do all things for the benefit of the flocks under our hand, it has seemed good that such a thing in no way happen from now on. And this we say not for the setting aside or overturning of what was apostolically legislated, but taking forethought for the salvation and the advance to the better of the peoples, and so as not to give any cause of blame against the priestly estate. For the divine Apostle says: "Do all things to the glory of God; become without offence both to Jews and to Greeks and to the Church of God; even as I also please all in all things, not seeking my own advantage but that of the many, that they may be saved; become imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ." And if anyone be detected doing such a thing, let him be deposed.
