Personally, I'd love to see so-called "Catholics" - like Kerry, Leahy, Daschle and ALL the Kennedys - go ahead and leave our Church to hook up with the Episcopalians. The reason that will never happen is that, when election time comes around, I've never heard any of the various political analysts mention the importance of the "Episcopalian vote".

Never play chess with an Episcopalian - because they can't tell a bishop from a queen.

ROFL!

The above mentioned left the Church a long time ago. Sold their souls to the devil for votes.

Indeed, what are the Episcopals down to now in numbers? 2 million on the roles and about 800,000 active members. Wonder how that compares to Unitarians.

Now that is a great quote! Many thanks!

I was surprised to learn that Espicopalian is the most common faith cited by U.S. presidents, including George Washington and George H.W. Bush. What does that mean?

The joke is :
Q: Why can Episcopalians play chess?
A: because they can't tell a bishop from a queen.
