I am always amazed at the selfishness of people. They could NOT have talked themselves into thinking that THEIR little no-marriage union was going to change the world.
They KNEW that their no-marriage union would wreck havoc. But they didn't care.
The Episcopal Church will survive VERY WELL. It DOESN'T NEED "bishops" like him! Bishop Robinson and his male bride Mr. Andrew need the forgiveness of many for their foray into sin.
They OUGHT to defrock him! Does the Episcopal Church "defrock" priests? This is certainly a sin worthy of it!
“They OUGHT to defrock him! Does the Episcopal Church “defrock” priests? This is certainly a sin worthy of it!”
Unfortunately, the only priests who have been defrocked or punished in the past 20 years or so are those priests who have vehemently opposed the ordaining of practicing homosexuals and other heretical theological novelties. The Episcopal Church (TEC)has charged bishops and priests with violation of the church canons (law)and their vows of obedience because they would not go along with the agenda of the theological quislings in power. I’ve long said TEC now stand for “trashing everything Christian”.
I’ve no idea why Vicki Gene is rending asunder his so called union; perhaps he has had an epiphany and is repenting. One can hope and pray for his sake he is.
The problem began when they accepted homosexuals into the priesthood and then allowed them to marry someone of the same sex. That was their first mistake. The church brought this dilemma on themselves and I honestly don't care how they solve the problem. Chances are, they don't view it as a problem at all!
