Yeah, the Bishop in Baltimore (Robert Ihloff) did as well. I think what is somewhat more upsetting is the fact that they are still trying to play both sides. Many of them are saying things like "I understand the concerns" and "we have a very wide divergence of opinion" and "this is only one of many issues being dealt with" and so on. They are trying to downplay the whole thing in an effort to avoid the schism that should take place after a moral departure of this magnitude. You can't play politician from the pulpit. I am a Catholic, and I'm just as updet over some of the things that have gone on in the Catholic Church... but at least we don't (and never will) have an official sanctioning of this activity!

In fact, you would think after the scandal in the Catholic Church -- which was clearly a homosexual problem -- the Episcopals would have been much less likely to confirm another potential child abuser into a position of authority. I'm Catholic myself, and the scandals have been so horribly painful for me. I can't imagine what good Christian Episcopals are feeling about all this. I've been praying for them, the Episcopals who have posted on FreeRepublic are so clearly devasted by this.

Why are the homosexuals so obsessed with taking over churches? That's the part I don't understand. What is it about Christian churches that compels the gays to come in and force their degradation on everyone else?
