Openly gay clerics will be questioned about the intimate detail of their sex life on behalf of the Archbishops of Canterbury or York before they can be considered to be a bishop, the Church of England has disclosed.
A legal briefing sent to members of the General Synod reveals that under a new policy any priest in a civil partnership will have to convince an archbishop that they are not sexually active before their name can go forward.
It was drawn up in light of a u-turn by the church last year which lifted a blanket ban on anyone in a civil partnership becoming a bishop.
The House of Bishops voted in December to allow priests in same-sex unions to be considered as long as they claim not to be sexually active.
The decision was met with criticism from both liberals and traditionalists alike and triggered open calls from some clergy for their gay counterparts simply to lie.
Gay rights campaigners derided the new policy questioning how the Church of England planned to “police” it.

They can look for the priests that have zippers in front and in back of their trousers!
I wonder if Clinton Rules apply?
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
Show ‘em all (male) gay porn. If they get a boner, they get the door.
We’ve reached a sad turn as this is to be understood as good news.
The Boy Scouts need to ask the same thing of their leadership and all the delegates that voted.
Thanks marshmallow.
Suggested follow-up question, for those who answer the first question in the affirmative:
“Does it feel good?” /sarc

Wow! Hilarious!
If they say yes then will the archbishop ask for a phone number?

The church is getting smaller and smaller...
Don’t they have gay bishops?

Let’s see: God declaRES homosexulity an ABOMINATION, and declaress it such a sin that thsoe hwo practice it must be put to death i nthe old testament, then God warns peopel NOT to engage in such an ABOMINATION i nthe new testament,. and yet gay peopel still feel God was what? Just kidding? Didn’t really mean it? Gay people, doign deeds wrought of the Evil One, think they have a right ot represent God in leading others? May God have mercy on this sinful world-
I think its quite ridiculous to suppose that gays sharing a living quarter together aren’t having a sexual relationship; a gay marriage would seem to me to be prima facie evidence for a sexual relationship. But to be clear: the Church of England is drawing a distinction between permitting those with same-sex attraction disorder to be bishops, while forbidding practicing homosexuals from being bishops.
A little late for this - don’t ya think?
Occult is a word with two roots:
Ocular: Pertaining to Sight
Cult: Pertaining to that which is Hidden.
Occult thus pertaining to that which is hidden from sight.
What else are the Occult Eunuch termites hiding in their wooden religious concoctions?
