FYI
This is the apostate side p***ing away their cash right? That's a pretty fast burn rate. The fact their lawyers aren't working on a contingency basis tells you something. I was always pretty straight with my clients in this regard. When I refused to take a case on a contingency basis and they offered to pay me hourly I would look them in the eye and say: "I know what I'm doing here and if I don't see an upside in investing in this case why should you?" Most got the message.
I hope not a regulated one. My first guess would be that they are 'borrowing' from the ECUSA.
I guess that “Bishop” Jefferts Schori would rather bankrupt the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia than permit a few Christians to escape her clutches with their property.
I sure to goodness hope it's not one in which I hold stock. When you have to borrow money to pay your lawyers, that is almost always a harbinger of disaster.
Bp. Lee has got to feel pretty sick right now.
He had hammered out an agreement with the departing parishes which allowed them to keep their property in exchange for payments to the Diocese. Then 815 interfered and forced him somehow to change his tune and litigate (I do wonder if Beers has photos of Lee in a compromising position, or if he just threatened his pension.)
Now it looks like the good bishop is left holding a very ugly bag full of nasty. I wonder if he still thinks it was worth it to give in to 815. . . . I doubt it.
Eat your heart out Rt. Rev. Peter James Lee! You and Bishop Jones have no one to blame but yourselves. Bishop Gray, a tough former Marine, knew how to vote on Vickie Gene’s application to join your club—once again proving that even a “jarhead” gets things right every now and then.
