In reality, the original language points to the Bishop being at one with his wife. Not the husband of one wife. Oh how that changes the amount of men qualified for such a position.
If it truly meant the husband of one wife, you'd have to take it exactly literally and that means any man who has been married more than once, regardless of whether the first marriage was ended by death, could not be a Bishop.
