When I began considering the effect of Vicki Gene's consecration, I also started with the proposition that being a woman is not a sin (this in response to the revisionists' constant harping on the similarity of women's ordination and homosexual ordination).

After considerable study and prayer, particularly regarding the history of how ECUSA came to ordain women, I concluded that women's ordination and homosexual ordination had many similarities. Both resulted from pride and a sense of political entitlement, not the calling of the Holy Ghost.

As to the prevalence of divorce, maybe it should be rolled back. Divorced bishops are a horrible example for Christians.

Looks like the Archdruid is firmly in the revisionist camp. I am not surprised.

I understand your feelings. However, lumping the two together to justify a sinful perversion is a despicable leap and slanders the female sex. As typical with homosexuality, it cannot be justified on its own, it cannot be defended, it cannot stand on its own merits. It has to drag other things down to its level.

God has never and will never destroy anything for being either male or female. But he has destroyed cities for being an abomination. A description also reserved for the Abomination of Desolation.

I daresay this is not limited to women or gays. Sadly, Episcopal seminaries seem to attract many who regard them as a good place to have a mid-life crisis or go into politics in clerical garb.
