Episcopal Church gays and lesbians are weighing a resolution to be put forward at the next General Convention making it illegal for straight white males to be admitted to the priesthood. LA Bishop Mary Glasspool, an avowed lesbian and one of many lesbians and gays supporting the "no white males resolution", crafted her resolution after hearing a straight white male preaching a sermon condemning homosexual behavior last month.When I first read this I thought it had to either be from The Onion, or satire. Guess not.
I was raised in the Episcopalian church, but bowed out decades ago. They were creepy back then and their "all gay, all the time" agenda has only made them creepier.
Having set out on a path of self-destruction, their eventual demise will not be a surprise and they won't be missed. Back when I attended Episcopalian masses, they perverted God's word and now they're perverting it even more.

Is this satire? I can’t tell.
As for, LGBTQI, can we just add on the P already?
To: ReformationFan
I always check the keywords.

Because they have pretty Windows and nice woodwork and can stage nice baptisms and funerals.

Yes, if you go to the original posting, it is label “a satirical essay.”
I am amazed by the number of commenters who jumped to the conclusion that the article is genuine.

I thought this was a satire, but it’s true? I have heard a few homosexuals starting to say that their lifestyle is superior to the lifestyles of heterosexuals.

I have never heard such homophobia coming from a pulpit. Unfortunately, she's probably right.

Oh, satire. I prefer when it is clear it’s satire. Sort of a practical joke of the kind I always dislike.

And the beauty of this piece is that, without noting keyword and topic tags you can’t really tell if it’s a joke or not.

I’m finding it harder and harder to distinguish between satire and reality. Society is becoming more and more insane.

My bad — these days it is hard to differentiate between the truth and satire.

"these days it is hard to differentiate between the truth and satire." I know exactly what you mean. Anything that IS satire will probably be reality in 48 hours anyway. :o\

No one regardless of color no matter if male or female would be there unless they are just completely out of their mind.
To: ReformationFan
I confess to some concern that there are posters on this thread unaware that this is satire.

“a straight white bishop, the Rt. Rev. Gregory Brewer (CF)” needs to leave that hellhole behind and come join our team!
Dag chode I sure wish you’d pinged me for this one! I can’t believe what I just read. Why does this man put up with this crap?

With the gas station toilet Western culture is turning into, it’s probably only a matter of minutes before it’s no longer satire but reality.
