Petre reported that Dr. Williams "has been accused of 'idolatry' for encouraging devotion to the Virgin Mary in a new book."

The book, "Ponder These Things: Praying with Icons of the Virgin," talks positively of praying to Mary, which for some Anglicans is regarded "as contrary to biblical teaching," noted the Telegraph.

Blessed Virgin bump!

An Episcopalean church down the block from where I work -- St. Thomas -- encourages people to stop in and pray the rosary in its "Mary's chapel."

This guy has been given the kiss of death by the Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster, who described him as "a very distinguished theologian."

This is the same Cardinal Archbishop who in at least 2 separate speeches in the last 3 months has said that "unity is more important than truth".

I'm sure they will get on very well together!
