It seems to me particularly interesting that Dr. Zahl's answer to his concerns is clamping down, removal of anonymity, and REGULATION (libel laws). One question for him: "Qui custodiet ipsos custodes?"
Isn't that sort of control by a very few, answerable to no authority but themselves, what got the Episcopal Church USA into this mess in the first place?
Precisely. Rather than allow self regulation through societal consensus (the way the markets and polite company both work), the author envisions some elite authority who will be responsible for coersive enforcement of correct behavior.
