You use that same “vote” line on every post.
I attend an Episcopal Church since my grandchild goes to a pre-school there.

The Vicar is a wonderful Christian man. The vicar's wife is the canter director and is a selfless, wonderful Christian lady. The staff of the school and church are wonderful.

The congregation is welcoming and as Christian as any you could hope to find.

The small church has a great outreach providing funds and labor for a Christian youth camp, a program to make repairs for homes of elderly. They provide volunteer and financial support for a work release canter, a home for abused and abandoned women and children, and operated a thrift store and food bank.

It is not church members who are voting for these unchristian positions. It is those who have been “called” to service.

The Roman Catholic Church has it own problems with “called” members of the church, ordained and laity, who flaunt biblical teachings. You can read those from the Chicago priest, to the nuns, or bishops (such as the ones in DC who just punished the Priest for refusing mass to an openly avowed atheist and lesbian.

I do believe a vote is taken when a new pope is chosen.

To: lag along

Selecting a new Pope has nothing to do with Church
doctrine.

Speaking of the Episcopal Church, they are losing members daily to the Catholic Church because they caved in to the homosexual agenda. And once again, the word of God has nothing to do with their doctrine. Their doctrine is voted on by people. Makes no difference what the Bible says.
