Also see this thread for a slightly different version of the story, wherein Robinson's attack on Pope Benedict has been cleaned up a bit.

[bnelson44]

I thought when he was installed he said he wouldn't push an agenda?

[Prime Choice]

The first openly gay Anglican bishop, Gene Robinson, has called for the Roman Catholic church's attitude to homosexuals to be confronted.

I wonder what the Episcopaleans would think if Rome called for Catholics to confront the Anglican bishop?

Oh yeah...that'd be "hate speech," huh?

[Unam Sanctam]

Gee, the radical Episcopalians are certainly not full of ecumenical respect these days. This is of a piece with the lack of respect for religious freedom of the gay activists.

[Right Wing Assault]

Why doesn't he go after the 'church' that really has a problem with 'gays'? ISLAM!

[Unam Sanctam]

FYI

[kittymyrib]

This disgusting offense to Christianity isn't fit to carry the Pope's jock strap.

[Petronski]

Vicky should STFU and ruin one church at a time.

[LibFreeOrDie]

The Bishop of New Hampshire said the Vatican's ban on ordaining gay men was "vile"... Bishop Robinson said: "We are seeing so many Roman Catholics joining the church. "Pope Ratzinger may be the best thing that ever happened to the Episcopal Church."

If the RC ban is resulting in more Episcopalians, then what is he complaining about?

Perhaps he's just jealous, and wants to be Pope Vicki.

[cubreporter]

Bishop Robinson said: "We are seeing so many Roman Catholics joining the church.


Then what in the heck is she complaining about if soooooooo man Roman Catholics are joining the church? She should be happy. Oh wait, she won't be happy until they ALL join her church. Don't hold your breath there vicki

[Rosemont]

"Bishop Robinson said: "We are seeing so many Roman Catholics joining the church...Pope Ratzinger may be the best thing that ever happened to the Episcopal Church."

who is joining Robinson's Church? Andrew Sullivan? The elites in the Episcopal Church should stick to doing what they do best. Excusing terrorism and bashing Israel.

Henry the VIIIth is turning in his grave, for what he wrought.

[Jorge]

He said homosexuals would eventually be fully welcomed in the church but warned that it may take some time.

All sinners are welcome in the church.

But those who declare sin is a virtue don't belong in an organization who's values they don't believe in.
Much less in positions of leadership.

[neocon]

Some Anglican conservatives had called for the St-Martin-in-the-Fields church venue to be changed to a secular one.

Do they actually hold services at St. Martin-in-the-Fields? I've never noticed anyone actually worshiping there. They do have a decent, inexpensive cafeteria in the basement, and there are candle-light Baroque concerts in the nave on Thursday nights. Oh, and brass-rubbings. You can make rubbings of brass-relief (pun intended) figures in the gift shop.

But in light of the fact that more Catholics attend Mass on Sunday than Anglicans attend their respective services - in a country where Anglicanism is (still) the established church, I'd say we RC's needn't feel compelled to take "bishop" Vicki's "advice" seriously. (The Brompton Oratory is usually packed on Sunday morning.)

I was re-writing this story to shorten it down to it's basic points and I came up with:

Homosexual attacks Catholic Pope's Stand
BBC | November 6, 2005

A homosexual has called for the Roman Catholic church's attitude to homosexuals to be confronted.

The homosexual said the Vatican's ban on ordaining gay men was "vile".


That was the entire story - it showed nothing of consequence or importance - the rest of the article was only so much pap. I erased it all.

These things that homosexuals do are simply repulsive to the core.

[Gay State Conservative]

From the tone of Jean's little tantrum,I'd say that he hasn't "gotten any" in a while.Well fear not,Jean...I'm sure that there are plenty of bathouses in London.Make sure to bring your "I am disease free" card with ya,because in the UK,you won't get in without it.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Robinson is one of those maggots Ted Koppel was talking about when he said that some people think of the Ten Commandments as the Ten Suggestions. This clown is no bishop. He's just another homosexual with an agenda.

[yevgenie]

On a slightly related note, looking at the "sex abuse scandal" of the RCC, it is clear that one of the real problems is that there were a number of homosexual priests who engaged in homosexual child molestation.
Unfortunately, the MSM chose to ignore this point. Child molesters are often male. Most victims are female, UNLESS the molester is a HOMOSEXUAL MALE, in which case the victim is male. Examination of the statistics leads one to assume that the perpetrators were HOMOSEXUAL priests.

[Past Your Eyes]

That maggot makes me glad my mother left the Episcopal church 50 years ago. Some people are WAY too stupid to be ashamed. Disgusting. And from my state, too.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Statement: Gay bishop attacks Catholic stand (Episcopal Vicki Gene attacks the Pope)"

Response: With the increasing homosexualization of the large Christian denominations the churchgoer might consider St. Paul's advice to the Corinthians:"... come out from among them..."

Comment: The fruits of the uncritical attitudes of "Tolerance," "forgiveness," and then adding the non-scriptual "hate the sin but not the sinner." The latter statement assuming the sin and sinner can be separated!

[BlessedBeGod]

Bishop Robinson said: "We are seeing so many Roman Catholics joining the church."

So now you add lying to your already long list of sins, Vickie???
