I particularly enjoy the comparison of the crucifixion and resurrection to homosexual butt-sex, “marriage,” and divorce. Hey I’m a Jew - he’s one of your guys!

Does anyone else find this line from the letter funny:

“In the end, all will be well. If all is not well, it is not yet the end.”

Whose end was that, his or the boy-toy?

Translation: “I am really into young guys who meet my sexual needs. I need a new end for my means.”

accepting the challenge of becoming Christendom’s first openly gay priest to be elected a Bishop in the historic succession of bishops stretching back to the apostles.

Wow - he's even claiming apostolic succession. disgusting

Gene Robinson, the homogenital bishop of New Hampshire and the poster boy for The Episcopal Church’s new morality is not talking. He won’t respond to emails from the secular and religious press about his divorce from his partner Mark Andrew.

The reason is simple. He cannot justify his sex life -— two marriages and two divorces (one to a woman and one to a man) -— to a church and public that has given him a lot of inclusive and diverse rope. In the end, he hung himself. A one paragraph note to the Episcopal Church’s House of Bishops and leaked to VOL said only that Robinson was divorcing his partner. “As you can imagine, this is a difficult time for us — not a decision entered into lightly or without much counseling. I’m sure that you will understand the private nature of this change in our lives and our commitment to keeping those details appropriately private.” http://www.virtueonline.org/portal/modules/news/article.php?storyid=18888#.U2fveWBOV00

He’s not happy with a woman, not happy with a man, probably not satisfied with himself, what’s next - a goat?

It’s a toss-up as to whether this piece or Gwyneth Paltrow’s “consciously uncoupling” screed is more deserving of a Brain-dead Blather Award.

“Marriage is forever, and your relationship will endure—whether positively or negatively—even if the marriage formally ends.”

Marriage is forever. Except when it's not.

This is pre-marital counseling? Why bother? And who in his right mind would go to Vicky Gene, of all people, for pre-marital counseling? I can't stop laughing!

All Episcopal bishops claim apostolic succession.

Quote from bishop: “The thing that astounds me about Jesus, as told in this Passion story, is that he keeps putting one foot in front of the other, praying that it’s in the right direction, but not knowing for sure.”>>>>

Jesus was never unsure. Not once. Not even a little bit. He knew where he was going and prepared his disciples since day 1.

Bishop quote; “ If God can bring an Easter out of that awful, long-ago Good Friday, “>>>>

Awful? Did you happen to notice the Church has called it “good” for centuries?

I think the rainbow is real, but I doubt that the Planned Parenthood “P” was originally on it.

Perhaps you should contemplate Matthew 27:46
