I bet most folks just thought they already had that.

Our Bible says they must be put to death and i believe the moslems say the same thing.
“The church will become small and will have to start afresh more or less from the beginning. She will no longer be able to inhabit many of the edifices she built in prosperity. As the number of her adherents diminishes . . . she will lose many of her social privileges. . . As a small society, [the Church] will make much bigger demands on the initiative”
Benedict called it.
Unless these ministers are immediately defrocked, the Anglican “church” shows itself in agreement.
Deviants cannot produce a viable culture of their own, because it would be inherently self-destructive, so they must parasitically feed upon healthy cultures, slowly transforming them into the culture they want for themselves, to their destruction.
The moral capital accumulated by many Christian institutions over many many years or centuries takes a long to to deplete. When it is finally used up, or discarded, what’s left is a putrid shell barely resembling the institution it once was.
You know, I just thought of something about the gay Anglican clergy that is pretty telling. Shouldn’t they be clamoring to institute a discipline of celibacy among an all male Anglican clergy instead of allowing ‘gay marriage’ among an clergy that already allows marriage?
I bet there isn’t one gay Anglican clergy person out there that thinks the Catholic discipline of celibacy and an all male priesthood is valuable and should be continued.

The true Church will emerge much smaller but much stronger as it faces immense persecution from the secular world.
who’s going to run the true church? the other one you describe is being run by the Vatican even as we speak...
myself, I think now might be the time to start funding the SSPX...
AB Welby - defrock them!!!
