LOL! Speaking of our apostate hierarchy, did you see that the atheist Bishop Spong has a new book out? I took a look at one of his once, and I have only one question-- why, in God's name, can we not fire guys like this? Seems like a belief in God is an entirely reasonable credential to be a Bishop, for crying out loud!

Well, I'm not ECUSA myself, but my brother-in-law and his wife are and they live in Spong's old diocese to boot.

I've always wondered the same thing. We Catholics seem to have the same problem and we have even less of an excuse since the Pope is (a) generally more conservative than the Archbishop of Canterbury and (b) has more power over his bishops than the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Clearly he should be excommunicated.

Even as an atheist, Spong doesn't have any original ideas or analyses. All his books are identical spewings of whatever trendy books he's read lately.
