The only difference is that this was for 500 years, the "love that dares not speak its name," and now these beastly little buggers are shouting (or lisping)it from the steeple tops. We also have many, many bishops who are gayer than Christmas in Panama. So the power structure is not going to do a damn thing about it.
Also, we have to acknowledge that this issue and the ordination of women were and are being used to thwart the "Reunification with Rome" movement. Relax, wasn't going anywhere anyway.
Now, everyone read William F. Buckley's "Up from Presbyterianism" before the next class. That interesting and mercifully short-winded book will explain it all to you.
