And there we go again. Leftist degenerates keep telling us that we have the problem and we must change our thoughts.

These people call us nazi's???

lifelong-intentioned relationships

What a wonderful phrase this bishop-to-be has come up with! It's clinton-speak for: "We'll split as soon as either of us feels like it!"

[UnklGene]

More than 6,000 people are expected to attend tomorrow's consecration, when Bishop-elect Robinson will be flanked by his ex-wife, his two daughters and his boyfriend, Mark Andrews.

Just damn! Proof positive that this 'fivesome' is really an odd number.

[DLfromthedesert]

So he's comparing the prince's lifelong love for this woman to his faggotry?

Ping for the list?

'lifelong-intentioned relationships'

"What a wonderful phrase this bishop-to-be has come up with! It's clinton-speak for: "We'll split as soon as either of us feels like it!"

LOL, it is truly a thing of wonder! Thanks for highlighting this, I missed it.

He's such a bum this guy. He's about to be a bishop, but he's really just a bum. I guess he had to invent that marvelous phrase, since he's onto his second lifelong-intentioned relationship.

I can't believe the former wife is sticking by him. She definately deserves to win some sort of fag hag of the century award. That sounds mean, I'm sorry, but I mean it. There are a lot of sins/failings/sins, etc. that I would tolerate/understand/sympathize with in a hubby. Homosexuality is the one thing that would cause me to tell you "never darken my door again".

How far am I from "Gee former hubby, now in another lifelong-intentioned relationship, I think you should be Bishop now!"

I am a sinner myself. A pretty bad sinner by some lights. So I suppose I know something about sin. And I'm telling you, this is sin, this is some really serious sin going on.

This, and the Muslims, and abortion, and euthanasia, the only thing that makes a bit of sense is that this is the end times.

I say this as a life-long Catholic, not raised to be a Bible belter, but who can doubt it now?

I'm ranting again, I'll stop now. Sorry Cicero to rant in your ear like this, but I can't help it sometimes, it's a Irish thingy!

oh crud vicki gene just involved the House of Windsor Ping!

He's not going to win friends and influence people doing that!

"It's very difficult for me to understand how New Hampshire having its own bishop who happens to be gay affects the day-to-day life in a church in Nigeria," said Bishop-elect Robinson.

Just another reason why this bishop-elect is unfit to head a church or shepherd souls. But then, Prince Charles is the heir to the titular title of this particular Charch, and this just goes to show that there is no such thing as a 'harmless immorality.'

[Cicero]

"We have this very odd situation in Britain with the heir to the throne cohabiting with a woman without the benefit of marriage because the Church over which Charles is going to be head when he becomes king still does not allow remarriage in church.

My first thought was that Charles criticizing Robinson was a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

But as Evelyn Waugh argues in "Brideshead Revisited," for a believing Christian, the worst kind of sexual sin is to get married illegitimately. A brief affair is less serious than that. If Robinson was unable to resist having a homosexual affair with this guy but still decided to stick with his wife and kids and broken the affair off, at least he would have been trying to do the right thing.

Contrary to what these gay-agenda people say, it's worse for a Christian believer to have a life-long homosexual relationship than it is to fall into an occasion of sin but then repent it. Better, even, to try and fail to straighten out than not to try at all.

This is all very queer.

He said he did not relish the argument over his election and that it was his desire that the Anglican Communion would hold together.

Baloney. He doesn't desire it very deeply or he'd have dropped out of contention for the bishopric. As a former Episcopalian, I say with all my heart that the condoning of this abominable situation is worth a church split on the part of those who understand that homosexuality is an accursed practice, regardless of whether it is forced or consensual. Scripture even provides for it by teaching those who live in grace to separate themselves from their brethren who won't repent after two warnings.

[TruthNtegrity]

Begorrah, do I understand the Irish thingy, and the Scottish thingy, and the English thingy, and the Colonial Americans, my forebears, who changed from being Anglican to being Episcopal.

vicki gene just makes me want to puke.

I keep being told the resolution of this matter - accepting or rejecting his consecration, doing something about an alternate Anglican Communion in America, is a process.

Frankly, I am so tired of hearing that word "process" - I just want something to HAPPEN - some DECISION to be made, and the Orthodox Episcopalians here in America, be given a place to stand, a place that is most definitely not part of the apostate ECUSA.

As a child of the 60's, I believed in staying in, fighting from within, rather than leaving and trying to picket them, (whoever the "them" of the time was). But dang it, I'm getting the idea that it's time to leave. I've begun to realize that by staying, I am de facto countenancing what ECUSA is doing, even though the Church I belong to here in No. VA, and the other 4 I've belonged to, are not part of this heresy.

[GretchenEE]

But as Evelyn Waugh argues in "Brideshead Revisited"

I love that series! (excepting the "Orphans in the Storm" episode). There is an almost haunting beauty to the story and the way it was presented on video; it stays with me, anyway. I cried in the final scenes, when Lord Marchmain finally repented. I felt the power of God coming through the movie, the actors, the words, the actions. God's grace and love softly, powerfully, rose and came forth in the humble medium of that movie.

I, too, am a former Episcopalian who left the church long ago. The Episcopal Church of the past several decades in no way, shape or form resembles the church of my childhood. Way back when they "revised" (or desecrated) the hymnal and prayer book was the beginning of the end for me.

Next time I sing God save our gracious Queen Long live our noble Queen.... I'll really mean it. If she comes close to the age her mother lived she has a very good chance of outliving her son.

Pax to all my Anglican friends, but the English royalty is not part of the magisterium for Christian doctrine. That was how the whole Church of England thing started, with the King pronouncing himself head of the church and changing Christian doctrine and practice on marriage. Christ founded the church on apostles, not kings. Please pardon this anti-Erastian rant.
