“Our Lord created one Church and promised that it would be guided by the Holy Spirit and the gates of Hell would not prevail against it. Two thousand years, and still counting.”

Amen sister!!!

Thanks for the Beckwith info!

Thanks for that info, usually I don’t watch that show, but that is one I will like to see.

Funny and sickening, really epitomizes in one picture the lowest, vainest, most perverse level two men can sink to.

Thanks to Tax-chick for the ping.

Traditional Anglican ping, continued in memory of its founder Arlin Adams.

FReepmail Huber or sionnsar if you want on or off this moderately high-volume ping list (sometimes 3-9 pings/day).

Welcome home Bishop Steenson!
I was baptized in the Episcopal church as an infant. I discovered the Catholic church when I was 13 years old. No amount of persuasion could bring me back to ECUSA. A few years after I left Spong became the rector of the parish. Need I say more.
Today I am one happy Catholic!

It appears that he is abandoning his flock to the wolves.

It appears that he is abandoning his flock to the wolves.

It is a tragic betrayal of the holy office when the Shepherd of a Diocese proves to be a mere hireling.

Dear Tax-chick,

“That’s a hysterical picture.”

I don’t know. I think that photo affects men differently than it affects women.

It doesn’t seem humorous at all to me.

It just makes me want to hurl.

This blows up the old “gay men know how to accessorize” myth.

[A.A. Cunningham]

"To be deep in history is to cease to be protestant."

[k omalley]

One of my patrons, soon-to-be-a-saint, I hope.

[Tax-chick]

I think that photo affects men differently than it affects women.

Probably. There's generally a difference in men's and women's perceptions of homosexuality. I have theories about the reason for this, but it's way off topic.

[sionnsar]

I thought Anglicans were supposed to have really good taste.

Well, for the most part I think Anglicans still do. Episcopalians (my apologies to the orthodox among them) are today quite another matter.

[sionnsar]

There are a jazillion “anglican” denominations mostly tiny which dont get along with each other.

You need to revisit the Anglican world, that or go to work for the New York Times. Or Pravda.

In case you haven't been paying attention, while various divisions continue the predominant element of Anglicanism today is coalescence, exemplified by the APA/REC merger and and the increased cooperation between the APCK/UECNA/ACA, to the point of opening the APCK seminary to UECNA & ACA postulants.

The "one-man" bishop churches have about as much significance in the Anglican world as the self-professed Roman Catholic women priestesses have in theirs.

[dighton]

Paging Mr. Blackwell!

[Tax-chick]

The "one-man" bishop churches have about as much significance in the Anglican world as the self-professed Roman Catholic women priestesses have in theirs.

Good analogy! And don't forget the moonbat in Nebraska (Wyoming? Kansas?) who says he's the true Pope!

[Tax-chick]

If there were really Fashion Gods, these two would have gotten the Zot before anyone could take their picture.

[AnAmericanMother]

I dunno . . . there's certainly a "ewwwww! gross!" factor in that picture for me, but those two doddering old fools ARE funny.

In a sad sort of way.

And they're Exhibit "A" for destroying the myth that "gay men have great fashion sense."
