Go away, Mr. Robinson. And may God have mercy on your soul.

I thought they would be gay about his retirement!

Wait a minute. There's a mandatory retirement at age 72 that ostensibly is well known in the Episcopalian world, right? So why is this a surprise to anyone, and what's the point of announcing the inevitable two+ years beforehand?

“The stress has just been riding my ass”, said Robinson. “It is just too big to take. It’s literally torn me up inside.”
Feel free to add appropriate comments.

But he’s not sorry that he threw the entire Anglican Communion into turmoil and probably drove thousands of people out of the church.
Never mind. I’m sure that the Episcopal bishops will replace him with a lesbian bishop, or maybe reach out ecumenically and appoint a Muslim cleric to the job.

Across the Episcopal Churches in the USA the few remaining congregants and clergy today reacted with heavy hearts to word that Bishop V. Gene Robinson is retiring.
Vicky might think he matters, but there are so few people in the Episcopal Denomination it would not matter if Vicky Gene Robinson was an atheist.

Would they have been so "liberal" to a bishop who left his wife and children to shack up with a woman?

Why doesn’t he just retire now if he’s so worried?

He doesn't want his homosexual AIDS to become public record. Bad for business, you might say.

As a retired bishop doesn’t he still belong to the House of Bishops and go to the Lambeth conference?

Mandatory Retirement? That’s Ageist! (sarc)

Would Reinhold Niebuhr, President Sotero’s favorite theologian, say that all Episcopalians are condemned because we permit a gay clergyperson?
