Mahoney is not the Church. Mahoney is a disgrace but is not the Church and is not a reason for banning the Church from ministering to souls, wherever they are. Some Episcopalian ministers are outright antiAmerican and the next thing to Communists. That is not a legitimate reason for banning the Episcopalian Church from conducting services for unapproved people. Yall have some strange views about freedom of religion and the purposes of religion.

"Mahoney is a disgrace but is not the Church and is not a reason for banning the Church from ministering to souls, wherever they are."

Ah, but the Church is doing more than just ministering to souls. It is aiding and abetting criminal enterprise in the temporal and secular realm in violation of its own Catechism for political purposes. Mahoney is not alone.

"That is not a legitimate reason for banning the Episcopalian Church from conducting services for unapproved people."

Who here is calling for banning the Catholic Church? I just wish it would stop breaking secular laws and ENCOURAGING OTHERS TO BREAK THE LAW in this instance. You don't minister to a thief by ignoring the crime he has committed - you encourage him to turn himself in.

You have some strange views as to what we've said on this matter.
