why don’t you just stop. Your church has shown the world what an abomination really is. The supposed church that Jesus founded which the gates of hell will not prevail against turned a blind eye to the many children who were sexually attacked by its clergy for decades. And you have the nerve to speak of the splinter in another churches eye. Please.
Are we in denial here?
When has the Church ever approved publically of this? Never and the Church never will. On the other hand, Anglicans continually support the ordinations of gay clergy and allowing more inclusivity of varying doctrines than ever before.You are absolutely wrong and your anger is blinding you. The Anglican Communion Worldwide does not approve of gay clergy or same sex unions. The Episcopal church in America and Canada do. TEC is losing many parishioners to Anglican churches in overseas diocese like Uganda and Kenya because of this horrific acceptance of these things. I am an Anglican, NOT an Episcopalian. Big difference.Are we in denial here?
To blame a whole Church on the faults of a few is ignorant. The Anglican Church has approved of allowing openly gay clergy. It’s pretty much a dogmatic thing.
I denounce the actions of those priests who committed those atrocities and I will never justify them. As soon as they consciously made the decision to be abusers, they cut themselves off from Christ’s Church. What they did was horrible, but it does not reflect on the beliefs of the Catholic Church, because the Church has never ever taught that this sort of thing was orthodox, because it isn’t.
However, I’m waiting for those Anglican clergy that will mandate NAMBLA type inclusivity. It’s only a matter of time.
And for your information, it isn’t Catholic clergy that have been plagued by this sort of thing. See the following link.

Many Evangelical Protestants call the Catholic church the whore of Babylon.
I agree with Anglican Catholicus! Any talk of The Anglican Church as an abomination shows no understanding of the Church at all.
With great expectation I read your link hoping to find something to refute what I though the Bishop said, but I did not find it in your link, for this I’m saddenI might do you well to READ what the Bishop wrote and not rely on a newspaper that only reports very little of what he said and report it inaccurately.

I understand, I think, what the Bishop is trying to say. He just says it poorly and that allows for artful interpretation as done in the Guardian.
He only regrets HOW he opposed the homosexual appointment, not that he opposed it. He appears to be trying to be more pastoral and lower the level of emotion concerning the issue.
Many Anglican Bishops and ArchBishops are trying to keep the Anglican Church from splittering, but it appears to be too little, too late.
BTW I can understand the shock and disgust with what is going on in this portion of the Anglican Church. My friends who are Anglicans, and some are priests to boot, are leaving the TEC for more orthodox and God fearing parishes. As the faithful leave, expect even more silly and ungodly “stuff” from what remains.
. And to add insult to his letter your link he end up saying from “A Fallible Church” What Church been guide by the Holy Spirit will say this. Please bothers and sisters pray for our Church leaders. This is a lost not just to our Anglican bothers but to all of us that this world is full of such depravity.If I understand the thrust of the question, in the official Anglican Communion there are 38 independent, self-governing jurisdictions. The Episcopal Church is one such, and is the jurisdiction (as of right now) of the Anglican Communion, in the United States.
Oh come on. As if there weren’t a lot worse things in the world than homosexuality.
All Primates (38) in the Anglican Communion Worldwide are self governing. In no possible way could the Church of Uganda be held responsible for TEC, or the Church of Kenya be responsible for the Church of Canada. If you understood the Anglican Communion you would understand this.
Right. The context of the Jeffrey John business needs to be remembered. This was a priest who lived with another man and claimed that the relationship was non-sexual, although he admitted that it had not been in the past. I thought that the opposition to his consecration as bishop was misguided, because it conveyed the impression that conservatives were hypocritical in our claim that we were opposed to behavior only and did not deny the worth and dignity of homosexual persons. I can certainly see how one could argue that Fr. John+ was causing scandal, but I think he should have been given the benefit of the doubt, and that in the end the orthodox message was seriously obscured by overreaction on the part of the C of E’s very vocal and somewhat fundamentalist evangelical wing.I might do you well to READ what the Bishop wrote and not rely on a newspaper that only reports very little of what he said and report it inaccurately.

Possibly the most disgusting thing I have heard in a long time. This is terrible blasphemy. Once again, terrible blasphemy. You would have to be completely a moron to even conceive this idea. Clearly the Church of England has gone to the dogs. Since Protestants always say this I’m going to through it back at them. The Anglican Church is the Whore of Babylon. What Now?
No one implied that homosexuality made a person worthless. However it is a grave Mortal Sin. I don’t think that any church should have priests who openly sin, have openly committed horrible sins in the past, and who mock marriage. I think the Anglican Church has obviously lost the ability to read, Anyone who can read can tell you that homosexuality is a sin.
Then they should apologize for taking something out of context.
I agree with your comments, I’m condemning the whole of the Anglican Communion due to just one, two or three mislead Bishops, and it’s not fair, the Lord knows we also have had some in our own church that have err. We have to stand fast and rebuke the massager and not the Church, for that I’m sorry for the title of the thread. I’ll see if I can change the title of the thread.
