lol. And I guess if you say you saw it, then it must be true, huh?

Yep. Smokey Mary's, Officially known as the Church of Saint Mary the Virgin, New York City. The Saturday after Ash Wednesday, (or maybe Saturday before Ash Wednesday) when I was 11, going on 12. 1960. Acolyte's gathering from NYC and surrounding counties. The first time i had taken part in a solemn procession of the Blessed Sacrament.

The Episcopal Church circa 2001 had already spent over ten years refusing to consider homosexual behavior something which would disqualify one for ordination. Before 1990 the diocese of Maryland had refused to pass a resolution affirming thaat Jesus Christ was the Son of God and our only savior. If you go to the Epsicoplians of 2001 for good teaching exercise discernment and count your change. For one thing, whatever one cleric says, you can find ten others who will say the opposite. One cleric denying Catholic Marian teaching is almost a guarantee hyou will find otheres confirming it.

And be careful about calling people liars. Verb. sap. If you should happen to be of the male persuasion that could lead to injury. I am now of the opinion that I never was an ordained clergydude so I do not observe some of the resraints I observed in the old days of my deception.

There you go again, bringing false witness. Your words are not mine.
