For the sake of context.

Anyway, I think you're really missing the point regarding the
Catholic/Anglican distinction for the Bishop. Real Catholic Bishops take
vows of celibacy. This is analogous to staying on only one color. Anglican
Bishops may marry and have marital relations. This is analogous to being
able to move on both colors. So, within the context of British Chess,
Catholic Bishops have taken a vow to stay on one color, and Anglican
Bishops have not taken any such vow.
