It is deplorable to see the Church splitting over a man who is undeserving of the ability to destroy the Church.

I notice that later on the author puts some of the blame (at least) on the people who voted for and supported the homosexual "Bishop."

The reality of it is that "Bishop" Vicki Gene did not destroy the Episcopalian Church but rather his elevation declared that the Church had been destroyed long before.

At the Bridgroom Service tonight, which is actually the Matins for Wednesday morning, I couldn't help thinking about this Robinson mess and the oft heard comment of the Episcopalian revisionists that Christ accepted the harlot, so homosexuality has likewise to be embraced.

S, FL already knows this, but at this service, the focus is on the harlot anointing Christ with myrrh, crying in her prayers for forgiveness and wiping Christ's feet with her hair. There is a long section where the Reader makes a comparison between the actions of repentence of the harlot and the actions of self aggrandizment of Judas. The contrast is so stark in the readings. At any rate, two things occured to me. First, that the whole point of the story of the harlot and the haunting, mournful chant of "Tis Kassiannis" is repentence of, not acceptance, of sin and second, by perverting the story of Christ and the harlot, Robinson and his fellow travelers are modern day examples of Judas.
