More detailed, ping!
Ah, the irony of a dying church that people are deserting in droves telling a growing church with over 1 billion members that its “lost its way”. Will the last person to leave the Episcopalian Church USA please turnout the lights?
To the headline: they may have as you are a “priest” and an adulterer.
There was a time when Episcopalians, doctrinally wrong though they might be, were perfect models of English social graces and courteoisie.
The utter gall, rudeness, smartassity, classlessness of this piece of excrement that calls himself an Episcopal “bishop” amazes one.
Will the wonders never cease??
Well if he is talking about himself and his church , the HELL YEAH!
A “False Prophet”. We were warned over 2,000 years ago about them.
P.S. Give it up, Vickie Gene. You had your 15 minutes of notoriety. It’s over. You are now almost the most meaningless little pieces of human debris anywhere in the cosmos, second, perhaps, only to the mother of the Boston Massacre lowlifes.
The Episcopal Church has degenerated into a gay cesspool. Gay bishops and priests are everywhere it seems as each year sees more parishes desert the national church membership.
This is what happens when gays take over otherwise respectable organizations from Boy Scouts to the military and rot them from within.
Try reading the Bible again, heretic spawn.
You want action taken against those who sexually abuse children, which is right, but you seek to justice for those who KILL children? You’re a joke. And let’s not forget, the majority of the abusers were homosexuals. They molested boys.
Once the spirit has departed, there is nothing left to do but get the lights and close the doors.

That is the most moronic statement ever to come from Robinson, reaching a new level of arrogance and error that I would have thought he had exhausted his ability to achieve. I take communion, knowing that I have fallen short of God's word but sincerely regretting those failings. To take communion while celebrating ones refusal to defer to God strikes me and I suspect most real Christians as sacrilege. While I am not Catholic, I am proud of the Church for following God's Word in the area of communion and in so many other areas.
Robinson’s words should be considered inspirational to any Catholic who has lost his/her zeal for the Catholic faith.
You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
—John 8:44
Robinson’s only choices are to say traditional Christianity has lost its way or to admit that he lost his way because of Daddy issues, abuse, or problems with lust. He obviously still lacks the humility to look inward and so he points outward.
“What’s wrong with the world? I am.” -G.K. Chesterton
He's been thankfully out of the news, and I've forgotten his other failings as a "cleric".
I still don't know what the NH Episcopalians were thinking putting him in charge.
Respect for marriage and family apparently weren't high on their lists of qualifications.
A quick glance at the “Early Life” section of Robinson’s Wikipedia page probably tells you where his gender confusion and unresolved conflicts come from.
“Robinson’s parents were young ... and they were hoping for a girl. ... Much later in life, Robinson’s father would tell him he couldn’t take any interest in the boy’s development because he always thought every step was going to be his last.”

So a joyless, probably distant father who wanted a girl and didn’t want to get too close to his sickly son. And a mother who also wanted a daughter.
When did he become a Catholic?
The thing is . . . we will still pray for Bishop Robinson and that he might receive some divine inspiration to change his ways.
Those who hate the church need the most prayer of all.
