Oh, he was the second coming. He was THE gay bishop. This was going to break all the doors down. It was going to be peace and love for all.
What a freak.
Given that Robinson was made bishop so recently, and given that the ECUSA knew Robinson would be controversial because he's gay, how did Robinson's alcoholism escape notice? Could it be that Robinson's champions were so determined to see a gay man made bishop that they ignored or covered up his alcoholism?
