I am late to the thread and simply fascinated by the discussion. I was ready to suggest the Episcopal church to Jilliane myself, but saw you two fine ladies had already proposed it as a better fit than the Catholic Church.

better yet, I would suggest that she pray and convert more deeply into the Catholic faith.....leave it to me to be different.

The suggestion of the Episcopalians was more in jest than in earnest. I wouldn't wish that collection of heretical loons on my worst enemy, let alone a fellow FReeper.

But jilliane, here's where I am absolutely serious:

Your ideas have already been tried. They failed. I was there - I was a sixth-generation Episcopalian and in that church for 47 years - and I saw it happen. The fruits were sin, misery, the probable loss of souls to utter unbelief, and the destruction of a denomination.

You need to rethink this. Preferably with a spiritual director.

AND, just a few minutes after I posted my previous message, along comes this thread in the day's news:

Episcopalians Ordain Lesbian Priest

I'd say it was just a coincidence, but this sort of nonsense has become so common in that church, it's an outrage-a-minute.
