"The Episcopal Church in America is not going to back away from its stance on homosexuality."

Then I can see a lot of Episcopalians moving to the Catholic or Lutheran churches here soon. I would leave a church in a NY minute when they started condoning homosexuality. I'm Catholic and the Catholic Church has taken a lot of heat of late because of the pedophilia but it is still very strongly condemned, especially in my little part of the world.

This isn't a personal criticism--but the problem is, too many good people are fleeing the evil instead of staying and fighting it. The evildoers are rewarded with control of a half million--or multimillion--dollar properties! They can sell it off, then direct the monies from the sale into homosexual-friendly nonprofits, etc....Nice feedback loop for them if we let them get away with it....WICKED.

It would be nice if there was some strong statement against pedophilia and active homosexuality/lesbianism by the Catholic Church as a whole. All we get are 'prayers for the 'victims of these unfortunate events' and snotty comments about . Of course, our Bishop and his chief aid were active enablers and protectors of the Pervert Priests.

I'm Catholic in southern CA. I like the old San Fernando Mission for services. I've also been a guest at Pentacostal, Lutheran and various other churches for services. They have Pastors that don't hold back. Gays are clearly not welcome. Go to a Southern Baptist service for a change. In all the churches, I saw couples, good people, or folks that thought they need to get there at the last minute. You can include Conservative Jewish Temples and Orthodox Churches here, if you can last through the services. Hang with the Jews, if you get a chance. They have coffee and amazing food called knishes after service.
