"It's very clear here that if you want to be a priest in the Roman Catholic Church and you know you're gay, you have to lie about it," he said.

Not only does this "bishop" live an openly gay lifestyle with his partner (after divorcing his wife in Church!), he has the timidity to suggest that gay catholic men should lie to gain admission to the priesthood. Does the word "sin" not exist in his vocabulary? What sort of shepherd is he?

A shepherd? More like a goatherder. Lying is a sin, and telling a lie about your sexual preference in this context, makes your vows invalid.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Antinomian certainly fits him.

No sort, at all.

He is the stuff of nightmares and of horror films.

An evil bastard of the ilk that has infiltrated and sought to bastardize every Christian Church on Earth.

Including and perhaps especially the Roman Church.

But, as will the Roman Church be strengthened by its reaction to, its struggle with and its ridding itself of its dose of and the detritus left by the sodomist virus, so will the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Anglican Church, already stronger than ever in Africa and in Asia, also be strengthened by its identical battles.

BUMPping

"...he has the timidity..."

Don't you mean "temerity"?

Here is a man who has made it all the way to bishop, albeit illegitimately, and still hasn't a clue what it's all about. He wanted to be a priest. He didn't hear a call. It was a career path he chose for himself, not one that God chose him for. It's all about him, Gene Robinson: fraud, imposter, tool of the devil. You have to wonder what his reaction will be on that day when he hears the words, "I never knew ye."

But don't you remember, supposedly Jesus is gay too, so it's okay.
