You got the score wrong, those parishioners are free of that Church now!
I was so thrilled when he was elected . . . felt like jumping up and down and yelling "YESSSS!" like those young American seminarians in St. Peter's Square.
In the U.S. Episcopal Church, queers rule today. That's why I quit.
Another case of follow the money.
I guess this church's hieracrchy doesn't believe in being "inclusive" if some believe that homosexuality is a sin. So much for "diversity" of opinion.
MMM - the hypocrisy of it all.

The TRUE church, the Body of Christ, is not a building. The gay looters don't understand that.
Are there ANY non-gay churches in Rochester? Perhaps these folks can form the kernel of a new Anglican-Use Catholic diocese in Rochester. Lord knows, the Roman Catholic diocese under Bishop Clark is as close to outright heresy as one can get.
I DID do that! My kids came running in asking what was up!
I hadn't been watching the TV cause I just didn't think anything would happen that quickly. I happened to wander into the Hobbit Hole and 2J had posted that the bells were ringing. I knew what she meant and immediately turned on the TV and saw that Ratzinger had been elected! I went to call my hubby, SirKit, and saw that I had a voice mail from his brother, who is a Priest on the MS Gulf Coast that simply said, "The right man at the right time, God Bless Benedict XVI".
To appreciate the situation in Rochester (or Albany, or Rockville Centre, or Los Angeles), read the following:
Still Proud Of Bishops He Gave U.S. - Archbishop Jadot At 93. He is to blame for the bad bishops and the scandals in the US. Fortunately, all of these men are nearing retirement age (though not soon enough for those of us who live in dioceses run by them).
When I saw that photo, I decided I did not want to be anywhere he was. He is scary.
I do not understand. Why is a larger organization in control of local churches? Who built the church? I am curious since I am Southern Baptist and we raise our own money to build or enlarge our churches.
"We will be a church and we will be functioning," he said."
"Bull. That ain't no church."
As I read the story, the pastor who stated, "We will be a church and we will be functioning" was the pastor of the congregation who had their church dissolved by the homo heirarchy. I understood it to mean that even tho these particular Episcopalians had been disenfranchised, they still plan to worship together outside of the Homosexual Episcopalian Church.
NYer -
Today is Archbishop Jadot's 96th birthday. What should we get him?
We had the radio tuned in once we heard the smoke was up . . . the cardinal read the announcement V-E-R-Y slowly in Latin - he got to "Josephum" and I said, "It's Ratzinger." . . . it seemed like 5 minutes before he said "Ratzinger" but he did eventually. (I did clap my hands and say, "All right!" Everybody looked at me funny, but they're used to my eccentric ways . . . )
"For that matter, is "dialogue" even a verb?"
I guess anything can be a verb these days. After dinner tomorrow, I plan to "cribbage" with my brothers.
