>>notorious evill liver<<

I knew it! I knew it! I spent years trying to tell my mom that liver was evil. And not just evil, but eeeevvilll!

By the way, I just love the use of the word, "naughtie."

>> Actually, the "traditional trappings" seem to be especially beloved of the looney left wing of the Episcopalians...they can cover up or ignore the fact that they have abandoned the basics of their purported faith ...<<

That and they can pretend that they are in a Merchant-Ivory film. How much you want to bet that Vicky keeps saying to himself, "Look at me, I'm Princess Amadollar!"

And in the Exhortation, more confirmation (so to speak) that sKerry can't approach the "Lordes Table":

DERELY beloved in the Lord, ye that mynde to come to the holy Communion of the bodye and bloude of our savior Christe, must considre what S. Paule writeth to the Corinthians, how he exhorteth all persones diligently to trie and examine themselves, before they presume to eate of that breade, and drinke of that cup: for as the benefite is great, if with a truly penitent heart, and lively faith, we receive that holy Sacrament; (for then we spiritually eate the fleshe of Christ, and drinke his bloude, then we dwell in Christ and Christ in us, wee bee made one with Christ, and Christ with us;) so is the daunger great, yf wee receyve the same unworthely; for then wee become gyltie of the body and bloud of Christ our savior, we eate and drinke our owne damnacion, not considering the Lordes bodye. We kyndle Gods wrathe over us, we provoke him to plague us with diverse dyseases, and sondery kyndes of death. Therefore if any here be a blasphemer, aduouterer, or bee in malyce, or envie, or in any other grevous cryme (excepte he bee truly sory therefore, and earnestly mynded to leave the same vices, and do trust him selfe to be reconciled to almightie God, and in Charitie with all the worlde), lette him bewayle his synnes, and not come to that holy table; lest after the taking of that most blessed breade, the devyll enter into him, as he dyd into Judas, to fyll him full of all iniquitie, and brynge him to destruccion, bothe of body and soule.

Note however the retreat from Transubstantiation . . . this was published under Edward VI.

By the way, I just love the use of the word, "naughtie."

Now that reminds me of Monty Python, when reading from the book of Armmaments(sp?)

Orris Walker has been a boil on the butt of the Episcola Diocese of Long Island for some years now. I am Roman Catholic, but I know from talking to my Episcopal friends about his drinking problem, preferential treatment for black minsiters (or uncertain ordination status) from the Carribean, leftist political leanings, and hatred for all that is traditional and beautiful in this denomination. His support of homosexual priests is legendary, and it is not surprising that he would make those comments about Rite 1. Gee...he would make a good Catholic priest!!!!! (gross sarcasm!)

[Ex-Episcopalian]

I went to a "high" Episcopal funeral mass recently. The incense was everywhere. When I went up to take communion, the "priest" would not let me place the bread into my own mouth. The pastor who gave the homily had a lisp.

[AnAmericanMother]

Well, as I told my dad, the Episcopalians aren't learning from the mistakes the Catholics made back in the 60s and 70s - believing all the B.S. that's put out about homosexuals, child molesters, and that psychiatry can "cure" them.

Difference is, the liberals don't particularly want to destroy the Episcopal church - why should they? they've already taken it over - so you will not hear about the molestations or the large settlements. Some have already occurred.
