"Episcopal Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori says her church has been unfairly singled out for criticism because it is honest about consecrating gay bishops."

I may be wrong, but I'd almost be willing to bet that Episcopal Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori would say that it was wrong for some bishops in the Roman Catholic church to have had sex with underage boys.

I wonder, though, if she would have given the Roman Catholic bishops a pass if they had been honest about what they were doing.

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.
