Episcopal Church gays and lesbians are weighing a resolution to be put forward at the next General Convention making it illegal for straight white males to be admitted to the priesthood.
LA Bishop Mary Glasspool, an avowed lesbian and one of many lesbians and gays supporting the "no white males resolution", crafted her resolution after hearing a straight white male preaching a sermon condemning homosexual behavior last month.
"I was shocked, stunned, blown away and mortified. I have never heard such homophobia coming from a pulpit. That was my moment to say enough is enough.
"This comes down to a choice between misogynistic white males versus gays and lesbians in an ever shrinking church and LGBTQI folk who insist they should be able to get laid by whomever, whenever because G-d loves them just the way they are, and we choose justice, inclusion and integrity."
Bishop Glasspool said she has the support of bishops like Gene Robinson, Otis Charles, Frank Griswold, clergy like Susan Russell and pedophiles and sexual abusers like Bede Parry and many more gays who have yet to come out of the closet. She said the resolution would keep out men who only had a penile interest in women, hate-mongers, homophobes, and other gay hating types. She said she was deeply moved by the late Ronald Haines Bishop of Washington who unofficially adopted that policy when he was bishop there. It worked so well the diocese is now being largely sustained financially by the Soper Fund.
"Straight white males are only good for breeding future gays if we can screw up the family relationships early enough in their lives, but we do not want them preaching, running churches, and definitely not bishop material, it's an insult to our dignity and integrity," opined Glasspool.
But a straight white bishop, the Rt. Rev. Gregory Brewer (CF), believes that the total ban on straight white males goes "too far". He is proposing a less draconian resolution that would allow some white men who love women to remain in the Episcopal Church as associate rectors and vicars.
Glasspool concurred. "The Episcopal Church needs white males to clean up the refreshments in the kitchen on Sunday morning after the service is over. Men can clean the pews and the elements and lick plates in case the water is turned off because of an unpaid water bill," said Glasspool, noting that a large number of churches bordered on extinction owing to the collapse of heterosexual marriages.
"If they show that they can do those things and stay out of church politics, there might just be a pathway to ordination if they behave themselves and subject themselves to women priests some of whom have strong sado-masochistic tendencies."
When I first read this I thought it had to either be from The Onion, or satire. Guess not.
I was raised in the Episcopalian church, but bowed out decades ago. They were creepy back then and their "all gay, all the time" agenda has only made them creepier.
Having set out on a path of self-destruction, their eventual demise will not be a surprise and they won't be missed. Back when I attended Episcopalian masses, they perverted God's word and now they're perverting it even more.
Is this satire? I can’t tell.
As for, LGBTQI, can we just add on the P already?
I always check the keywords.
Because they have pretty Windows and nice woodwork and can stage nice baptisms and funerals.
Yes, if you go to the original posting, it is label “a satirical essay.”
I am amazed by the number of commenters who jumped to the conclusion that the article is genuine.
I thought this was a satire, but it’s true? I have heard a few homosexuals starting to say that their lifestyle is superior to the lifestyles of heterosexuals.
Incredulous placemark.
Unfortunately, she's probably right.
Oh, satire. I prefer when it is clear it’s satire. Sort of a practical joke of the kind I always dislike.
And the beauty of this piece is that, without noting keyword and topic tags you can’t really tell if it’s a joke or not.
I’m finding it harder and harder to distinguish between satire and reality. Society is becoming more and more insane.
My bad — these days it is hard to differentiate between the truth and satire.
I know exactly what you mean. Anything that IS satire will probably be reality in 48 hours anyway. :o\
uh, this is a satire.
No one regardless of color no matter if male or female would be there unless they are just completely out of their mind.
I confess to some concern that there are posters on this thread unaware that this is satire.
“a straight white bishop, the Rt. Rev. Gregory Brewer (CF)” needs to leave that hellhole behind and come join our team!
Dag chode I sure wish you’d pinged me for this one! I can’t believe what I just read. Why does this man put up with this crap?
With the gas station toilet Western culture is turning into, it’s probably only a matter of minutes before it’s no longer satire but reality.
