Ooops. I forgot to say thanks for the great news.
"Screw the church. I want what I want."
My grandfather used to say, "Self denial is good for the soul."
He'd be appalled that church officials seem to be saying, "If it feels good, do it."

I can't believe this person's disregard for the good of the church. That, alone, should get the person kicked out instead of ordained.
We live in an instant gratification society. Self-discipline is just not something that is cherished any longer. But it's loathsome that in a profession that demands a higher calling, that self-discipline cannot be exercised even then.

Integrity's hailing the election.
Thanks for the headsup. The link below is very interesting.

That's the one that got posted on TitusOneNine.
Good God, Almighty: -
Those who would totally destroy the tattered remnants of America's Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church seem Hell-bent in their spiralling attempts to catch up with the already reversed and rapidly repairing Romans down amorality's drain of degradation and degeneration.
Thank You, Dear Lord.
Amen.

I'm disappointed by the outcome. It just gives the cowardly conservative bishops more time to avoid showing some leadership.
,,, everthing's up for deconstruction.
Too bad a modern "education" skips history, theology, the ability to recognize, let alone to deal with, reality and/or Truth.
All of this notwithstanding it takes the time to teach the ignoramuses it clones to communicate in words of more than one sylable, the while instilling in every one of them delusions of his being "educated" and: -- this despite there are no absolutes, that everything is relative, his inclinations, base urges and behaviors are one and the same, religion and socialism, ditto, that his every somewhat successfully verbalized feeling is an "idea" -- and that she deserves to "run" things.
Into the ground.
And Judeo-Christian/Western/Human Civilization back into the Dark Ages.
God save us all.
I was kind of hoping they would elect a homosexual, that way we could finally have our schism. I strongly disapprove of a bishop living in an unmarried sexual relationship, and I believe only a man and a woman should be married, but is Vicky Gene really any worse than John Shelby Spong, who denies just about every tenet of the Christian faith from the pulpit? The guy is basically a Buddhist, and he's certainly not the only one. But all the attention goes to Vicky and his sisters.
