As I read it, the 'Anglican Bishop' designation was really meant to fit into the 'British' theme of the game, and the piece's powers I presume were chosen to resemble a usual Chess Bishop but also be sufficiently different to justify a different name, and the 'colourbinding-celibacy' analogy was merely an offhand remark for helping people remember the rules. It seems surprising that people are so interested by this throwaway comparison to spend so much time analyzing it, when it has no bearing at all on the game. The same rules might easily have been written without making that particular analogy. The topic here is chess variants, or else I would remark how, as a Roman Catholic, I'm always amazed at how fascinated non-Catholics are in anything connected with the practice of priestly celibacy.
