And that would be absolutely correct, too. The real issues have to do with authority, including but probably not limited to the following:
1. The authority of Scripture, and how properly to address it;
2. the authority of bishops individually and as a group;
3. and also the authority of the Communion with respect to the individual provinces.
And let us never forget -- the most serious issue of all is the fact that the blame for this mess lies, not with the "liberals," who did nothing more than what they always do; but rather with us "orthodox" folks who have been -- and remain -- too blind and lazy to deal with this issue as it should be dealt with.
There was a concerted effort to use Episcopalians' good will and reluctance to "make a fuss" or to go to law, to infiltrate the church. The liberal feminists and homo-activists were openly discussing this while Louie Crew was still playing with dolls.
