[Flavius Josephus]

The Rev. Paul Zahl, dean of Trinity Episcopal School for Ministry in Ambridge, Pa., said if either of the gay candidates is chosen as the new bishop, it's a "definitive thumbing of the nose at the worldwide church."

No, Paul, electing Victoria Imogene was thumbing the nose. This would be more like salt in an open, bleeding, infected, pus-oozing wound.

He said hundreds of Episcopalians already left the church after Robinson was consecrated

Hundreds, Paulie? Try thousands. Try tens of thousands. Try hundreds of thousands.

"for those who are still hanging in there, this election would be the final straw.

Naw, they'll still be hanging when they put the golden calf on the altar. And call it good.

I actually enjoy this kind of thing. I'm outta there, hasta la vista baby. It helps me to read how utterly morally bankrupt the episcopalians really are.

Thanks JEC.

Faithful Anglo-guys, ping for ya.

What is it with all this "gayness" in the Catholic and Anglican churches? How did this perversion happen in both and how did it ever get this bad?

""They're not going to elect someone on simply one facet of them as a human being,""

EPISCOPAL BISHOP ISSUES JIHAD AGAINST CARTOON DEPICTING JESUS AS "SON OF GOD"



(Fire Island, NY) -- The Right Reverend Percy Dovetonsils III, Bishop Suffragan for the Diocese of Fire Island, Provincetown and San Francisco, today called for the beheading of the entire editorial staff of Catholic Monthly for publishing a cartoon in which Jesus of Nazareth is depicted as being the "Son of God."

The cartoon, published in the October 12, 2005 edition of the magazine, and titled "Jesus Raising Lazarus from the Dead," shows a halo-crowned Jesus miraculously bringing Lazarus back to life. In contemporary Episcopalian theology, all references to religion, miracles, holiness, God, and the Bible are considered to be blasphemous -- distracting believers from more important religious priorities such as promoting same-sex marriage and voting rights for illegal immigrants.

"The pictorial representation of the alleged divinity of the notorious Jewish political leader variously known as Jesus, the Son of Man, and the Son of God is deeply offensive to all progressive-minded Episcopalians," said Bishop Dovetonsils this morning at the annual Solidarity Breakfast of the anti-1st Amendment lobbying group, Episcopalians Against Christianity.......
