Gay, Pro-Abortion Episcopal Seminary Pres.'Worst of Post-Modern Church'
Catholic Online ^ | 4/14/09 | David W. Virtue

Posted on 04/13/2009 3:24:40 PM PDT by tcg

The announcement that the Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, MA, has chosen a lesbian, pro-abortion president to lead the seminary has sent shock waves around the Anglican Communion. The appointment of Katherine Hancock Ragsdale highlights a week that also saw TEC bishop-elect Kevin Thew Forrester replace a reading from the New Testament with a reading from the Quran at St. Paul's Marquette, Michigan.

One wonders what Episcopal boundaries and barriers have yet to be crossed that the dying embers of historic Christianity could possibly fan into life. That the Diocese of Massachusetts has a functioning transgendered priest complete with a sex change operation (he appeared at Lambeth 2008) mocks not only marriage, but any notion of what normalcy in sexual matters might mean in The Episcopal Church. Consider, too, that 19 of the 41 resolutions to be presented at GC2009 have to do with normalizing same-sex unions, proposing same sex rites and deep-sixing a resolution - B033 - that restrains further homosexual ordinations into the priesthood. They mock The Episcopal Church as a Christian denomination.

At what point does the Episcopal Church become totally irrelevant?

We left the church too ... it is beyond the point of being irrelevant ... for my family, it simply doesn't exist.

Jesus spoke of the end times as being “as in the days of Noah.” We are certainly in those days. I believe that most of us here know what time it is—there is a storm coming, and very soon. I plead that everyone prepares themselves, both spiritually and physically. Put on your armour from G-d. This woman will soon realize that she has rebelled from G-d, and hopefully she will repent and come back to Him. Woe to those who add to or take away from the Word of G-d. She has truly done that.

That is just it. Homosexual acts are a sin and it should always be condemned by all true Christian churches, as is adultery, etc.

If a homosexual isn’t acting on those destructive, nihilistic desires, then why would they describe themselves as a homosexual? I would think that it is more important and the information would be more accurate to describe oneself as a Christian, or lawyer, or numerous other adjectives that would be more suitable under the circumstances.

I do not want to be privy (nor do I want my children) to be forced to think about what people do in their private sexual lives or give my children the impression that homosexual behavior is normal and good when it is abnormal and destructive to societies. I thought “they” wanted the right to privacy!!!! It is like the opposite with the obscene parades, etc., even in the schools—with books to brainwash 4 year olds and indoctrinate them into the lifestyle.

"... a lesbian, pro-abortion president to lead the seminary...

Episcopal Church doing there best to climb up the PC totem pole. I guess the powers that be must enjoy those fancy parties the NE elites like to throw. I wish them all the benefits and comfort earthly things will bring them in this life.

Her statements are the genocide of the vulnerable and murder say orthodox Episcopal Bishops.

This goes beyond murdering the unborn ... they have commited murder upon the church itself. Churchicide?

Yet another example of “infiltrate, then destroy from within.”

Benedict has set up barriers to these people being Roman Catholics. Where else do the poor dears go?

My tag line is a quote from the Bible in the orginal Hebrew. It's not my fault you don't understand it.

Have you learned to write the word Christian with no asterisk?

You are quite exactly the sort that the Apostle Paul warned of repeatedly.

In obedience to the Divine commandment against using the names of false "gxds." You will notice I also avoid spelling in full the names of the months and days of the week, since they come from false "gxds."

You are quite exactly the sort that the Apostle Paul warned of repeatedly.

Then I advise you to give me a wide berth.

As I understand it, "stalking" people is against the rules of Free Republic.

I don't bother you. I would appreciate it if you would return the favor.

Your objecting to a Biblical quotation is really too much.

Do not carry your disagreements with another poster from thread to thread.
