Pretty soon, they’ll be ordaining hogs.

Hey what do expect from a Church that was created for the sole purpose of allowing a King to get rid of his wives?

Archie Bunker had England ALL figured out:

I wonder if Henry VIII knew he was creating the Church of Sodomites

[Hoodat]

I’m not totally familiar with the rules of Anglicans as opposed to Catholics. Are Anglican priests allowed to marry?

[a fool in paradise]

“eatin’ ain’t cheatin’” will soon be the MANtra.

[Servant of the Cross]

Gay clergy in civil partnerships will be allowed to become bishops ...

'I AM a trendsetter. Take that you English beasts.'

[dbehsman]

And the devil laughs all that much harder.

[Longbow1969]

LOL, who on earth actually takes the Church of England seriously. It’s a complete joke at this point.

[Venturer]

Two men living together with abstinence are just two men living in the same house.

They aren’t really partners unles they bend over for each other.

This is really stupid.Why do they even need to say that they can live together without sex, Of course they can.

[miele man]

Yes, they are allowed to marry. Used to be that if a married priest became divorced, then HE would have to leave the priesthood. Sadly, not only are there divorced and re-married priests and bishops, but now in some countries, they can be practicing homosexuals or lesbians. Jesus still weeps.

Indeed, the fact that it has survived nearly 500 years since shows the strength of the original Christian roots. But now that tree is dying, roots and all.

O_-

[MIchaelTArchangel]

And the “Church of England” will officially change its name to the “Church of Peaderstry”.

[jagusafr]

O_o

[JimSEA]

William Rufus, Richard I, Edward II and James I would all have likely approved. In fact it might have spared Edward II a royal pain in the arse if gay rights had existed ( his wife would have just had his head chopped off).

[wideawake]

Ah, the joys of private judgment.

“can become bishops so long as they remain sexually abstinent”
What are the chances gays living in a relationship will remain sexually abstinent? It is amazing how human nature is constantly denied and ignored. Leftism is truly emotion based.

Yep. The logical outcome of rationalizing sexual sin.
