I hope what’s left of the homosexuals who infiltrated the seminaries and the clergy take the Anglican up on his offer.

Great! Ridding ourselves of CINO’s is good!
One thing about the Catholic Church, they don’t change their doctrine to suit the whims of the liberal congregants. It is how Jesus found it! Thank you Lord!

My previously Episcopalian mother-in-law got so disgusted with her church this summer that she just said screw it and became full-blown Catholic.

Good News Ping!
Some would be happier elsewhere.

The problem is they won’t go. Many people for years have been urging these CINOs (Catholics In Name Only) to go take up residence in the nearest Episcopal church, but instead they want to stay and make life miserable for all of us in the Catholic Church.

He should get his own senator and abortionist, Barbara Mikulski, and neighbor Joe Biden, along with Leahy, Casey and other CINOs. They long ago left the Catholics and are wandering in some NOW purgatory.

So gay pro choice Catholics now have a home.
Isn't that special...
Wonder if they will extend it to Methodist as well...
To: Gamecock
Let’s see—trading liberal/heretical Catholics for conservative Anglicans.
You’ve got a deal!

"The church was wrong on slavery - many parts of the church," he said. "The church was wrong in the Crusades. The church was wrong with Galileo. The church was wrong with women. The church was wrong with people of a different so-called race. The church, increasingly, we find it was wrong with people who are oriented toward the same gender.Sort of sad this Bishop is so ignorant of the Church and history.
1: Has the good Bishop ever heard of Bartoleme de las Casas or Wilberforce? Why did slavery first end in the Christian west?
2: Does the Bishop know the Pope called for the Crusades because the Muzzies dealt a devastating defeat on Byzantium and it was a call from help from Constantinople that lead to the call for the Crusades?
3: Galileo got into trouble because he was going against the prevailing SCIENTIFIC view at the time. I ask the good Bishop why did science flourish in Christian West as opposed to dying in the Muzzie world?
4: The development of the Church was a imporvement in the status of women compared to the Roman world. Once again why did the concept of women's rights develop in the West while women are treated as chattel in the Muzzie world?
5: If the Bishop read his Bible he would know from acts that one of the first converts was from Ethiopia. I refer back to De La Casas and Wilberforce. The greatest slavers in history were the Muzzie Arabs. How has Christianity has spread to all corners of the world if it is so racist?
6: Obviously the Bishop does not read the Bible when it comes to its consistent condemnation of homosexual acts.

Episcopal bishop of Maryland would like to make one point clear: The door swings both ways.Unfortunate choice of words considering that it's probably the gay priests that they'll get and they have a gay bishop.

The Episcopal Bishop "opens the door"??
Oh yeah, I mean it's so difficult to join the Episcopal Church, isn't it? I mean entry requirements are so stringent!! It's not as if any Tom, Dick or Harry who believes any old nonsense can be admitted is it?
Can you say "stunt"?

As vast as the differences between the most conservative Catholics and the most liberal Episcopalians, the services have a similarity which makes movement comfortable for those unhappy with their church. Many Protestant services would seem foreign to someone raised a Catholic. My grandfather was a very conservative Episcopalian minister, who got booted in the early sixties from Washington DC to the far hinterland because the Episcopal Church had started it's liberal swing way back then. His character and sense of loyalty would never of allowed him to switch churches. He definitely would not of been comfortable with the Episcopal Church today. He would, as he always did, minister faithfully to those the Lord put in his care. As to myself, I believe that some relationship with the divine is better then none, regardless of politics.

If I ever need my female bishop to introduce me to other hot guys, I will be sure to call....

Now, now, now. There you go letting facts get in the way of a good rant of moral superiority. Sheesh.
