"The Church of Sweden has appointed a lesbian as the Lutheran bishop of Stockholm.

Eva Brunne, who is in a registered partnership, is believed to be the world's first lesbian bishop.

She won the post by 413 votes against 365 votes and will succeed Bishop Caroline Krook, who is to retire in November.

Brunne, 55, has a three-year-old son with her partner Gunilla Linden, who is a priest."

This is biologically impossible.

Well the Church of Sweden must be proud to be so very very liberal. Lesbian bishop is partners with a lesbian priest? How special (sarcasm)

Where did their son come from? I have heard that a number of lesbian females had their children while married to men, before they realized that they were really lesbian. So of course that would have happened because of our racist, sexist, bigoted society which pressures women to marry men. (more sarcasm)

Guess that relationship with Hitler didn't work out.

And there’s another HUGE problem with lesbian marriage — here you have two women and one kid. That averages out to a birthrate of .5 per female — such a partnership would have to produce at least 4 kids just to come close to biological replacement. Maybe this is why the New World Order is pushing homosexual acceptance so much.

When the anti-Christ comes, it will be churches and organizations such as this that will gleefully lay down and submit to Satan.

Wow -- what a shame what is happening to the Lutheran Church. An openly gay woman as a bishop?

Perhaps Lutherans might want to consider coming home.

World’s first lesbian bishop. What on earth is wrong with the Episcopal Church? How’d they let themselves get beaten out by a bunch of Swedish Lutherans? Good grief.

Aren’t priests supposed to take vows of celibacy? Aren’t they supposed to be unaffected by worldly things like sex and only be concerned with the soul and afterlife?

The Swedish word präst, "priest," is used in Sweden for all ordained ministers, whereas we Lutherans in America would use the word "pastor." Being a "priest," in Swedish Lutheranism, does not carry with it the requirement of mandatory celibacy that medieval Roman Catholicism came up with.

Jag är präst, "I am a pastor," a Swedish-American Lutheran pastor.

There are pictures of them on Google image search. Don’t be so sure.

On this, the 6th of June, Sweden's national day, a sad ping--mourning the homeland's long slide into secularism and moral dissolution--to the Swedish Ping List.

It's bad enough they have women pastors, in violation of God's Word, but they even allow lesbian women pastors. Well, come to think of it, that's often the case with the pastorettes.

The Church of Sweden is a state church. Clergy are simply civil servants of the government. In a state church the parliament decides the practice, not the Scriptures. Europe has rejected the Scriptures as the basis of moral law. Its morality is based upon cultural/political relativism. It will not be long before all of Europe will be part of Islam, and this will be God's judgment against all of them for their apostasies. They brought it upon themselves, and God will allow them to suffer the consequences of their own actions.
