Is it ok for a clergyman to get his sister-in-law pregnant?

One bishop says “Yes”.

“Because he said, ‘you know, the adultery issue was for the little ones.’ It was for the — the people, the, you know, commoners. It wasn’t for people who God elevated and trusted with special things like this, relationships like this. And that’s the way he explained it to me.”

Ok, the article isn’t entirely clear, but it would seem that the above remarks are those of former Bishop Earl Paulk, explaining why DNA testing showed that his “nephew” was really his son.
