The congregation wasn’t offended by the LGBT crowd or the drag queen but the Bishop making a joke was just too far for the Episcopalians.


could have been dancing.....................

The whole service sounds like a joke.

She couldn’t bring herself to even say, “The Body of Christ.” That’s the main scandal here.

“I don’t understand Episcopalianese”

Mama said, Episcopalians are Catholics who flunked Latin.

The employees at a now defunct former ITT subsidiary had to all sign a contract about what would get us fired. It was put into a contract because none of it was otherwise legal by Florida law. One of the things was, “I agree to never, under any circumstances, tell a joke.” I paused in reading and asked the HR lady why and she said, wide-eyed, “You never know who you might offend!” I was thinking, I don’t care, but I needed the money, so I signed. It was like working in some dystopian future where everyone looked around to see who might overhear before the simplest conversation. (Any non-work-related conversation was also outlawed.)

Liberals want to control what you think. Since they can’t do that, they’ll do the next best thing and control what you can say. No humor is acceptable. Probably we’ll see fewer and fewer comedy specials on cable. They’re just too “controversial.”

“I agree to never, under any circumstances, tell a joke.”

You should have told them that you found their joke offensive and sued them.

Humor is objectively counterrevolutionary, comrade.

“a devastating and demeaning act...”

“By my action, I misused my authority...”

Those words would be more fitting in regard to allowing the LGBTQ and drag queens taking over the church ceremonies.

BTW - where to the drag queens fit into the LGBTQ thing? They aren’t transexuals. I suppose they fit under the “G” as homosexuals??

They’re heretics, the church ⛪️ hosting the alphabet mafia.

The entire service was a filthy joke. Drag queens and queers controlling the church. Someone should have ripped the collars off of all the priests in that church. The episcopal church is run by perverts and weaklings.

Whatever religion that abomination of a “church” claims to be, it ain’t Christian. Satanic, maybe?

If the “bishop” had pulled down his trousers and stroked himself, the audience members would have applauded and most likely would have joined in the orgy. /spit
