“I hope that Jim McGreevey finds some contentment and satisfaction in his new role as an Episcopalian priest,” said Tom Giblin, the Democratic Party chairman during McGreevey’s run for governor.

I hope Jim McGreevey takes some step to make amends to the people he placed at risk of grave danger while getting his rocks off, instead of making himself a poster child for “Gay America”.

"He had an ability to heavily connect with all different types of folks ... that should be of enormous benefit in his new role."

"Heavily connect"? What does that mean, exactly? Does it require a wide stance?

“I hope that Jim McGreevey finds some contentment and satisfaction in his new role as an Episcopalian priest,” said Tom Giblin, the Democratic Party chairman...”

This guy thinks the priesthood is all about contentment and satisfaction. Like changing a job. Or maybe a lifestyle. Or sexuality. Or...

Eh. Pride and selfishness.

>> McGreevey shocked the nation in 2004 by declaring himself “a gay American” <<

No, he didn’t: He got busted by the Israeli agent whose pants he tried to get into by giving him the Homeland Security position to.

By the time he announced himself “a gay American,” his resignation was already required of him.

McGreevey, 50, switched denominations from Roman Catholic to Episcopalian earlier this year and has expressed an interest in becoming a priest.

Our gain, your loss.

[NYer]

A reverse journey.

his new role as an Episcopalian priest

Is the Episcopal Church truly so far gone that they would let this come to pass?

It is one thing to accept homosexuals into the priesthood -- not a pretty or a wise thing, IMO -- but it is entirely another thing to accept a man who was corruptly using his position to advance his sexual interest at the expense of the safety and security of his state.

And this redemption thing that now seems to happen instantly when an evil-doer is exposed...this is crazy.

I'd guess that his admission to the priesthood would make the split in the Episcopal Church utterly beyond hope of reconcilliation. But maybe it is already...perhaps those who know about such things can comment.

What a travesty!

"Isn't that special?!"

You can’t make this stuff up...Well maybe you can...It actually sounds like some bit Rush’s people would come up with.

which Episcopal Diocesan bishop signed off on this travesty - NY or NJ?

[P-Marlowe]

The Episcopal Church has become a non-Christian cult.
