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!"

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.

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

Ping for the list?

"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.

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.

What part of abomination did he not get?

How very tacky by the King of Tacky.

"Sodom and Gomorrah is about homosexual rape. St Paul is talking about idolators," he said, incorrectly.

The sodomite bishop is reaching for a lower common denominator by implying that two wrongs make a right - which they do not. Just because the(?!) chuch changes it's understanding of anything doesn't necessarily mean that it's correct. This man is the straw that's going to break the Anglican organization in two. He is not concerned with being a bishop, Christianity, or in repenting towards Christ; he is concerned with himself.
