[Macbeth2003]

If one rejects both Scripture and Tradition,or the universal belief of mankind that homosexuality is wrong then on what principle does one stand? The obvious answer is, none whatsoever: simply the shifting tides of public opinion.

Let's look at that again. Whatever one's opinion on this issue surely their cannot be a universal belief that homosexuality is wrong if you claim the appointment of a gay bishop is following the tides of public opinion. NOt even necessarily disagreeing with your opinion, but that seems a large contridiction

Public opinion is usually driven by elites, and no doubt that the elite in this country is in favor of the homosexual agenda. But even anthropology shows that societies that accept homosexuality as normal are rare. Even where it is tolerated it is never raised to equality with the normal pattern of family life. What we have is the adoption of socialist ideology, which repudiates any intermediary institutions between the state and individual, especially Church and family.
