McGreevey mulling Episcopal priesthood Posted by The Star-Ledger May 02, 2007 12:08PM Categories: News
Patti Sapone/The Star-Ledger Former Gov. James E. McGreevey appears during custody proceedings in the Union County Courthouse last week.Former Gov. James E. McGreevey has started the process to become a priest in his newly adopted Episcopal faith and hopes to begin a three-year seminary program in the fall.
McGreevey, who often described himself as a devout Catholic while in public office, was officially received into the Episcopal religion on Sunday, at St. Bartholomew's Church in Manhattan, and is now part of the church's "discernment" phase that usually precedes any seminary work, said the Rev. Kevin Bean, vicar at St. Bartholomew.

“Vickie Gene Robinson.” That’s a good one. Turn the Priest Around! Turn him upside down!
“Vickie” is his REAL FIRST NAME... I’m not kidding. Apparently, he almost died when he was born- his parents were expecting a girl, so they only had one nake picked out-VICKIE IMOGENE ROBINSON.

Geeeeezz— This guy has more lives than a friggin’ cat....
He comes across to me as just plain smarmy.
Sad that the same faith that produced great men like CS Lewis is now recruiting the likes of McGreevey and Washington.
I had wondered why I don't read anything from the onion anymore, thanks.
Scrappleface is better anyways.

The crux of the matter is true repentance and amendment of one’s life. Let’s hope McGreevey is sincere. You’re right about many of the saints. In fact most of them led dissipated and notoriously sinful lives before their conversion.

This has to be a joke. I figured he’d spend the rest of his life running around with various men. The Episcopal Church is losing all standards. If the leaders can’t set standards, who can? Since there are homosexual bishops, he can date and engage in homosexual behavior. He can even get “married”. If homosexuals are permitted to break the rules set forth in the Bible, why not adulterers or rapists? Afterall, the Bible seems to be up to personal interpretation now.
As far as his daughter, one is not permitted to recieve Communion in other churches if one is Catholic. He shouldn’t be arguing that in court. His daughter is a baptized Catholic, and if she chooses to become Episcopal when 18, then she can decide what to do.
No prob, Bob. Will remember for future reference. I found it on the Shrine of the Holy Whapping site.
Just another route for a homosexual to gain access to young boys. One would think they learned from the Catholic church experience.

You watch Oprah?
When I walked into the house the other night, the bride had it on, you see...and there was Mrs. McGreevey.
If not for that, I wouldn’t have seen it.
I NEVER watch it on my own. I have this feeling that it would reduce my IQ by a considerable margin.
I once introduced Oprah at a big, fancy, schmancy dinner in Washington, DC. The show was being taped for NBC TV. She received an award that night, and her enthusiasm was, well, underwhelming. Who presented the award to her? Hold on now, Maya Angelou and Melanie Griffith(who was probably on her third or fourth bottle of vino by then).
My God, it the kind of evening that makes you wonder why you ever got up that morning.
Now, aren’t you glad you asked if I watched Oprah? :)
No thanks- As I said, I haven’t seen him in years. He used to Volunteer at a church on St. Barths. When the Bishop of Antigua found out that he was living in the rectory with his “friend”, he was disinvited from ever returning in an official capacity. That was the last time I saw him. It was before they made him a Bishop. Maybe McGreevey can go serve under him in New Hampshire...
