What are these people THINKING? They DO know better but their insistence on their WRONG, SINFUL thinking belies egos that just don't care beyond their own egocentric self-aborption.
It reminds me of those folks who think that it's OKAY to wreak vengeance on Muslims after the Muslims wreak havoc (murder) on Christians. How does one heinous crime justify another? The logic that justifies it is MORAL RELATIVISM.
I suppose the committee is CONVINCED that, in the end, it is right in nominating open-homosexuals as bishops.
How did they EVER get to that point? We all know that practicing homosexuals as bishops is/was/ always will be wrong (just as one group's murders don't justify the opposing group's murders). Was there ever any time in the Church's history where this wasn't true?
How DID they ever get to that point? THAT is what I just can't understand.
By a series of little steps down a long, slippery slope -- and noting that after each step the picture had hardly changed from the previous one, therefore it must have been okay.
I'm not sure that that's their goal -- but if it is, such a precipitous action might work the other way, by putting the CofE revisionists in a bad light.
