I've been trying to think up something funny to say, but how can you parody something like this? How can you possibly be ironic about a bishop who says things like "let chaos storm, let cloud shapes swarm"?

How did this guy get to be a bishop? Who taught him this New Age theology? Who promoted him? Who recommended him? Who consecrated him? Why is it that only heretics can become bishops today?

Most importantly: What options are available to the faithful when the faithless have a stranglehold on the hierarchy of the Church?

As in all professions and politics 'It's not what you know. it's WHO you Know.

"When the Spirit came, a new time began."

Perhaps he's not meaning the Holy Ghost?

"It was the time of the dispensation of the Mystery"

There is a second definition for dispensation...to exempt from a law or vow.

I think he missed his 'true calling', as a Poet. He might be a good one to go to for confesson though, LOL!

I'm with you, my brother. This bIshOp is an embarassing, anti-Cathollic, new-age buffoon. God help us!

Dominus vobiscum.
