Quick Notes: 

    Some quick notes on a bishop's ring, which I will update in the future
into a more regular file.  A bishop's ring is one of physical emblems that
the Roman Catholic church uses as a symbol to show that priests are
married to the church.    It ties into the doctrine of celibacy (a doctrine
of devils according to  the bible (see 1Timothy 4:1-3), and it ties into
whether you've been born again by God or call a priest father.  Many
priests, many wedding rings, and one very impure bride of the antichrist,
also known as the great whore, babylon the great, and the roman catholic
church. 

In former times, catholics kissed the bishop's ring, and you were granted
an indulgence for doing so, another concept not found in the bible. 
(A priest granting an "indulgence" for sin could also be called a go and
sin some more grant from the meaning of the word indulgence.  The Bible
says go and sin no more, John 8:11.  The bible does not say God
"indulges" sin.  It also doesn't say your sins can be forgiven in any
other way but to be washed in the blood of the lamb.  Works of men can
not do it, only Jesus Christ, the Savior can.)    

1 Timothy 4 
4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall
depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God
hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and
know the truth.  

Mathew 23:9
And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

 

Ring
The bishop's ring is a symbol of the bishop's fidelity to and nuptial bond with the church, his spouse. It signifies the bishop's symbolic marriage to the church or Christ. The bishop's ring is usually made of gold with an amethyst. The bishop's ring was first mentioned as an official part of the bishop's insignia in the early seventh century.

Comment: The true church has only one bridegroom, Jesus Christ.  

Bishops also wear a ring. In the past, a distinction was made between the pontifical ring (which would have a gemstone, traditionally an amethyst), and the ordinary ring (which would have the bishop's coat of arms or some other design engraved on it). The ring, like a wedding band, symbolizes that the bishop is "wedded" to his diocese. Also, the ring would be used, at least in days long ago, to make the imprint of the bishop's seal in the hot wax to authenticate documents. Moreover, in Catholic tradition, to reverence or "kiss" the ring of the bishop as a sign of respect for his authority is still proper; interestingly, a partial indulgence was attached to the reverencing of the bishop's ring.

Comment: According to this, catholics are still kissing the bishop's ring. 

"However, our lives of faith are conceived by the acts of those who sow the seeds of faith. The apostles and their successors were commissioned by Christ Himself. They bear His Word in our lives and are ministers of His grace through the sacraments of the Church, beginning with our spiritual rebirth in Baptism. By sharing in the high priesthood of Christ, bishops and priests share in the attributes of the Father. As there is no father but the one Father in heaven, and no teacher or master but Christ, we properly understand that these men, having been commissioned by Christ to act in His person, also represent the Father, whom the Son reveals (cf. Jn. 1:14-18). Insofar as they uniquely participate in the spiritual begetting of God's children, bishops and priests are our fathers. For they share in the mission of Christ who reveals the eternal Father. St. Ignatius of Antioch, who knew the apostles, expressed this well when he wrote: "Let everyone revere . . . the bishop as the image of the Father" (as quoted in Catechism, no. 1554). "

Comment: Here is a catholic article, like many others, quoting the Roman Catholic catechism where it quotes Ignatius, calling the priests spiritual fathers for begetting children of the great whore.  

The bible says that at no time, anyone has seen the Father, but the son, Jesus Christ has revealed him.  This is blasphemy.

John 1:18
No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

Roman Catholic Catechism:

1589 Before the grandeur of the priestly grace and office, the holy doctors felt an urgent call to conversion in order to conform their whole lives to him whose sacrament had made them ministers. Thus St. Gregory of Nazianzus, as a very young priest, exclaimed:

We must begin by purifying ourselves before purifying others; we must be instructed to be able to instruct, become light to illuminate, draw close to God to bring him close to others, be sanctified to sanctify, lead by the hand and counsel prudently. I know whose ministers we are, where we find ourselves and to where we strive. I know God's greatness and man's weakness, but also his potential. [Who then is the priest? He is] the defender of truth, who stands with angels, gives glory with archangels, causes sacrifices to rise to the altar on high, shares Christ's priesthood, refashions creation, restores it in God's image, recreates it for the world on high and, even greater, is divinized and divinizes.⁸² And the holy Cure of Ars: "The priest continues the work of redemption on earth. . . . If we really understood the priest on earth, we would die not of fright but of love. . . . The Priesthood is the love of the heart of Jesus."⁸³

Comment: Here we find the Roman Catholic Catechism quoting Gregory, and taking this "image of the father" to its logical and blasphemous conclusion that the priest is 'the father' as opposed to God, or 'God on earth' as the catholic church has put it for its pope, refashioning creation itself, divinizing it and being divinized (i.e. means being made God, blasphemy.)  

Mathew 23:9

And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

Here is a quote from the council of Trent, where the priest is also being exalted over natural parents, trying to 'worm their way into a household', and something that should be of concern to anyone considering the pedophile scandal.   The Roman Catholic priest is not the Heavenly Father, he is not a spiritual father, and he is not (normally) your natural father.

"The application of this Commandment is of very great extent. Besides our natural parents, there are many others whose power, rank, usefulness, exalted functions or office, entitle them to parental honour.....

The pastor should next explain who they are, whom the Commandment designates as fathers; for although the law refers primarily to our natural fathers, yet the name belongs to others also, and these seem to be indicated in the Commandment, as we can easily gather from numerous passages of Scripture. Besides our natural fathers, then, there are others who in Scripture are called fathers, as was said above, and to each of these proper honour is due......

The priest is also entitled to receive whatever is necessary for his support. Who, says the Apostle, serveth as a soldier at his own charges? Give honour to the priests, it is written in Ecclesiasticus, and purify thyself with thy arms; give them their portion, as it is commanded thee, of the first fruits and of purifications. " 

The pharasees tried to do the same thing.  Instead of taking care of his parents, a person could claim that his gift was "devoted" to God, and since that devotion was being considered as of equal importance to keeping the fifth commandment of honouring your parents, he was considered free from that commandment. 

Mathew 15:3

But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?  15:4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.  15:5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;  15:6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.  15:7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,  15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 

John Gill's commenting on the tradition of "corban", the Hebrew for gift translated above:

"Let these instances suffice: the plain and evident sense of the tradition before us, is this; that when, upon application being made to a man by his parents, for support and sustenance, he makes a vow in such form as this, "Corban, whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me"; that is, whatsoever profit or advantage thou mightest have, or expect to have from me, let it be as "Corban", as a gift devoted to God, that can never be revoked and converted to another use; or, in other words, I vow and protest thou shalt never have any profit from me, not a penny, nor a pennyworth of mine. Now, when a man had made such an impious vow as this, according to this tradition, it was to stand firm and good, and he was not to honour his father or mother, or do anything for them, by way of relief: so that our Lord might justly observe upon it as he does; "

The fifth commandment is about honoring your real parents.  It has nothing to do with priests.  In fact,  the bible forbids calling a priest father -

1 Timothy 6:10
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
