Despite a last minute attempt to STAVE OFF the divisiveness that a FRUITY BISHOP will undoubtedly cause in the Episcopal church, they rammed him right through and will permit his ordination. Did anyone see the Epis bishop on O'reilly last night that Bill was asking to reconcile it with Scripture and the guy said that they are NOT scripturally based. that is outrageous to me. the guy ALSO said that Robinson has led a FRUITFUL LIFE> i roared!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
