The Washington National Cathedral on Wednesday said it will remove stained glass windows honoring Confederate generals, saying they act as “a barrier to our important work on racial justice and racial reconciliation.” In a statement, Cathedral leaders said they’ve debated for two years whether to remove the windows honoring Gen.

Okay. They remove the windows. Then what?

They'll put up stained glass windows of Mohammed, Karl Marx, and Barack 0bama.

Put up plywood with graffiti on it to make the permanently outraged crowd feel right at home.

Rename it the Washington Yankee Cathedral. It certainly doesn’t represent the nation now.

The windows are beautiful. I hope the Washington Cathedral, which has lost the Holy Spirit and now resembles the haunted mansion in Disney World, will sell the windows to the Museum of the Bible that’s being completed in DC.

Maybe they will close the University of the South founded by the Southern Dioceses to keep Northern influence out of Southern churches and dedicated by Bishop Leonidas Polk who later died a Lt. General of the CSA on Pine Mountain. Today it is owned by the 28 Diocese of the Episcopal Church.

Correction: : should be: “Today it is owned by the 28 Southern Dioceses of the Episcopal Church.”

yes take them down - who were they, anyway? Besides, slavery never existed in the US, those people were all voluntary indentured; that slavery tale is just mean old propaganda from the left. Everybody knows the only slaveholders were arabs, blacks, hispanics and indians (big /s)

"The only thing Episcopalians have left is their old buildings."

And lots of parishioners with prolapsed rectums.
