The good Bishop spent Easter on a cruise ship, no less...

Doesn't the good Archbisop have more pressing matters to attend too? LOL!

[Unam Sanctam]

The Church of England is not serious about sin. This is ridiculous.

[ClaireSolt]

As if the church of England didn't have enough thorny issues to deal with.

Too bad Bennie Hill is gone now, he would have had so much fun with this.

Then again, there's always Carlos Mencia and the Mind of Mencia show.

THE Bishop of London has declared it sinful for people to contribute to climate change by flying on holiday ...

No prob, honey. Of course, that means your tourist trade will go down the toilet.

[goldstategop]

Another liberal whackjob nuttering on about global warming. I thought it was Fred Phelps until I saw the sin this bishop decried and I stopped reading right there.

You just don't get it! It's wrong to drive a gas guzzling caddy, but righteous to have homo sex as long as you do it in an eco friendly way.

This is ridiculous. The absolute arrogance and hubris of those who believe we little ant-like creatures have the power and ability to change the climate of an entire PLANET is beyond me. Better that these "manmade climate change" fools look both to the sun and to the Son to determine the cause of climate change and the meaning of sin, respectively.

So the Church of England is joining forces with those pagan Gaia worshipers, eh? So are some of the Protestant denominations...

The good Bishop spent Easter on a cruise ship, no less...

I was reading about the introduction of the first 707's on transatlantic service. Even the original 707-300's were more efficient than tha ocean liners they replaced. One 707 could carry more passengers than an ocean liner, used less fuel per passenger, and a cost tenth of the capital cost of a ship. While the 707 had fewer seats, it could make a round trip once a day while the ocean liner would take 4-5 days one way.

The good bishop proves that even incompetents can have a calling within the clergy...

[The Duke]

I guess half a preacher is better than none(?)

[Myrddin]

Another religious figure inventing yet another sin to control the behavior of his flock.

The good Bishop spent Easter on a cruise ship, no less...

And a hypocrite too. He's in the same league as Dianne Feinstein as to pushes for gun control and carries one daily.

[COEXERJ145]

This has got to be one of the stupidest things I've heard in ages. It makes me want to go fly just to spite this idiot.

[goldstategop]

Exactly. And its made travel more convenient and affordable for ordinary people. Civil aviation revolutionized the world of travel. Before the airplane, only the very wealthy could see famous views close up - and they traveled to Europe on cruise ocean liners. Now every one can. No wonder the Bishop Of London is saddened. Its all those blue collar riffraff intruding into the rich's playground. How dare they!

Does that mean recycling used condoms?

Church of England, what are they, the Reform Jews of Christianity???
