The real unfairness is how the Left has hijacked the Episcopal Church, mocked the Lord by spreading false doctrines and rejecting the Word, and persecuted anyone within the denomination who actually wanted to follow Christ.
The Episcopalians can keep their "Clown Eucharist."
Only some of its smallest members. This is not indicative of the majority of its 77 million members.

FReepmail Huber or sionnsar if you want on or off this moderately high-volume ping list (sometimes 3-9 pings/day).
This list is pinged by Huber and sionnsar.

They are called Democrats.....
Actually, in my holy opinion, they know they're in deep doo-doo and their future lucrative employment is at stake, so they're circling the wagons and covering each other's backs.
Defensiveness is the mother of desperation.

There's the problem.
“He is certainly not alone in being a gay bishop” these arent personal observations are they bishop schori?
Beavis and Butthead? Or, the two arch druids? Or?
This is a prima facia evidence why liberals should not be elected to head organizations of either church or state!
As I have stated before: “Bishopettes for Christianettes...”
This is actually a pretty accurate assessment, and why I have trouble calling it "The Episcopal Church" with a straight face: The "bishops" are now nothing more than glorified administrators. I think it was +Iker who appropriately called it "The General Convention Church".
No, it's not because you were honest a about doing it. . .it's because you are doing it. (And you KNOW that's what it is about, Ms. Schori, so please stop being so DIShonest.)
It’s not just the gay thing. “Bishop” Robinson put his ego and his ambition above the sacraments of the Church knowing full well what it would do to the church. Who wants a Bishop like that?
No one. Well, certainly no one whose world view is biblically based.
I understand what you are trying to say with your citing of abuse by Roman Catholic priests, but I have to point out a few things.
The sad abuse by a few priests was NEVER condoned by church doctrine, law or advocacy. Some will argue that cover ups that did occur by some superiors are tantemount to support, which is of course insanity. While flawed like any organization of men, the Roman Catholic Church does not hide its laws or rules or official positions, the Cannons been around a long long time.
If anything comes from this sad affair regarding Roman Catholic Priests it will be that the Church ends the stupid deal with the devil it made in the 60s allowing admitted homosexuals to serve as long as they were “chaste”. This single decision has done more harm to the church and her flock than any in my lifetime. This allowed the evil in, and it has festered ever since. While abuse rates by priests were no higher than the general population (a fact the MSM gladly ignores to this day) there is no doubt that homosexuals have in particular diocese, leterally taken over unofficially and any that stand against them are driven or order off where they can be no threat.
Benedict definately recognizes this threat, and hopefully will clean up this mess. IN some diocese, no respectable priest can ever gain prominence, the entire local heirarchy is run by sodomites who trade sexual favors and other things for promotions and assignements etc, none that will not join in their games will ever have any power. Sadly most of the lay person have no idea how bad the situations in their diocese have become.
I also realize now that I made an error in my earlier post. I think I said (or implied) that Bishops in the Roman Catholic church had had sexual relations with underage boys.
That, I think, is incorrect. No bishops had sex with any underage boys.
The Roman Catholic church acknowledge that what some of its priests did was wrong.
The Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, on the other hand, refuses to call sin sin. Instead, she wants to say that the Episcopal church should be congratulated because it was "honest" about the apparent fact that there are a number of homosexual bishops and priests in the Episcopal church.
That, to me, is a significant difference. Although I am not Catholic, I do admire how the Catholic church has confronted the sinfulness within its midst. A few Protestant denominations could (and should) take note.
>> ... they know they’re in deep doo-doo
Speaking of doo-doo: Yes, the Church has been full of liars, cheaters, gamblers, fruits and nuts since day one. Yes, we all know that; the Lord loves sinners. In this case, however, TEC has marched us down a path and wouldn’t let us walk around the dogpile in the middle of it; they made us step in it. In fact, they rubbed it in our faces. +Kathi, thanks a lot for affirming that.
Check out post #28. Maybe purple is not +Kathi’s color - it makes her teeth look green. Or, maybe that’s intentional. It must look good to liberals.
And in post #29, is that some special kind of Ninja +Manbelt she’s wearing?
