By Hilary WhiteCANTERBURY, UK, August 18, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Gene Robinson has castigated a fellow Anglican bishop for publicly disapproving of his crusade to inculcate “gay” values into the Anglican Communion. In an interview with SXNews, an Australian homosexual news website…

“Posterboy”?

Does LifeSite aspire to be a news organization or a blog?
 
I know it’s politically incorrect, but Gene Robinson is an idiot to describe the orthodox stance on homosexuality as like telling an abused wife to go back to her husband. The man is a fool for trying to go against the will of God.
 
He is simply following the proscribed playbook. Turn homosexual acts into something normal and good. I have no problem with his being gay in terms of his sexual orientation, but to work from within to change established teaching? No wonder the Anglicans are seeking out the Catholic Church.

Pray for him.

God bless,
Ed

Yes. On this I agree with you, although I do not think the man’s an idiot. I think he is either:

A) Been duped by the ‘theologically liberal’ type that would use him and others to try and destroy Catholic/Orthodox [little ‘c’, little ‘o’] Christianity
B) He is part of that group that wants to tear up Christianity.

Look at what this man has done to the Anglican Communion:

He has embarrassed us throughout Christendom (I admit he did not do it alone, for it takes multiple people to consecrate a Bishop in the Episcopal Church and, in the end, it came down to a vote by our legislative body whether to approve this whole thing or not), caused major schisms and rifts within the Anglican Communion and caused many Anglicans to abandon their Church (or feel abandoned by their Church).

It seems the theological liberals who wish to turn us into a unitarian universalist type of organization scored a victory there and the flat out Anti-Christians who wish to tear up the faith from the inside out scored a victory also.
 
this is why the Anglicans need to just come home and avoid all this. well its not the only reason, but its a pretty good one.

I LOVE politically incorrectness!!! 😃 It’s so…polictally incorrect! But yea he’s an idiot
 
Gene Robinson is a pervert, a deviant, and a sick man. He needs our prayers and our pity.

The worst part is that he’s just a puppet, and he’s too far into his sin to even know that he’s being manipulated. He thinks he’s charting his own course and making his own decisions, and is utterly blind to Lucifer controlling his every move.

And worse yet, if he does not repent of this behavior and obstinately continues in it, his ultimate destination is going to be immeasurably more horrible than any judgement we could ever place upon him-----and it will last for eternity.

I pray that God will open his eyes to his error, and that he will repent of it before it’s too late.

It is issues like the Gene Robinson thing that make it difficult for more ‘orthodox’ (little ‘o’) Anglicans/Episcopalians like me, especially since I am discerning a call to ordained ministry. I sometimes worry that I will be another one of those that is forced to leave the Episcopal Church because it is either that or affirm support for things that I cannot in good conscience support.

I bet that Papa St. Gregory is rolling over in his tomb at what the English Church he ‘founded’ is coming to. 😦 😦 😦

I know nothing about the Episcopal Church. Can you tell me if it is possible for a Bishop to be removed from his position? If so, what sort of offenses would provoke such a disciplinary action?

I would assume it could be done, but I don’t know how. And unfortunately, it seems as though the theological liberals are coming to dominate at the Diocesan level. Supposedly, the Presiding Bishop and much of her clique are not only theologically liberal, but also quite dictatorial in maintaining control.

It seems Pope Benedict’s warnings about a dictatorship of relativism are coming true in the Episcopal Church in a certain way…a dictatorship of relativists. As an Episcopalian layman, it is not too bad (after all, I know what I personally believe…such as Anglican foundational theology and the liturgy of the Eucharist and such are still valid), but issues come up either:

A) If one decides to have children (do you want to have to spend half your time deprogramming the theological mush that will be instilled in their minds?)
B) If one pursues Holy Orders (if one espouses too many theologically conservative ideas, they might cut their discernment cut short)

It appears most of the inter-Anglican ‘defectors’ (whether too a different province…such as the Anglican Church of Kenya, or to an Anglican group that is not in communion with +Cantuar…such as the Traditional Anglican Communion) seem to be Episcopal Priests who cannot in good conscience adhere to the views of their Bishops and the Episcopal Church as a whole.

I sometimes wonder if a day is going to come where laity who refuse to tow the theologically liberal party line will be forced out of the Episcopal Church. It may seem crazy to worry about that, but as we have seen in other areas, the relativists will tolerate everything except those who wish to adhere to sound doctrine:
Pope Benedict XVI:
Having a clear faith, based on the creed of the church, is often labeled today as a fundamentalism. … Whereas relativism, which is letting oneself be tossed and ‘swept along by every wind of teaching,’ looks like the only attitude acceptable to today’s standards.

That does concern me. After all, I am pretty sure there are some people who would already label me as ‘fundamentalist’.
 
This might be off-thread but something I saw online really bothers me.

I was searching online for information on a particular Catholic church in my city and came across a web site entitled “gay friendly churches.”

I clicked on the site and found a very long list of local churches (mostly non-Catholic) but I was shocked to find five local Catholic churches on the list.

How can a Catholic church be “gay friendly” and what does that mean exactly?:confused: 😦

The meaning of “gay friendly” may vary from person to person. Does the list say what “gay friendly” means?

Was this a list that the churches signed up for or was it a list that individuals nominated the churches? I can see where a pastor might be unpleasantly surprised to see his church on such a list.
 
The site did not say what “gay friendly” meant, but I went on the web site of one Catholic church listed and it did appear to be slanted toward gays; and this was a Catholic church with long historic ties to my city, but now is in an area where gays congregate.

I will say that some of the Catholic churches were in the proximity of several colleges (Catholic and secular); and also in what are perceived to be neighborhoods where gays live and/or work.

My impression is that the churches themselves put their names on this list.

🤷
 
A Catholic church could technically be “gay-friendly” if it supports a group like Courage that is an outreach to people with same-sex attractions that wish to live by church teaching.

But I have a feeling that is not what the list means by “gay-friendly”. They probably mean churches that support groups like Dignity that oppose church teaching.
 
Well, I am going to call the church on the phone and ask them for an explanation.

Can’t believe our Cardinal would allow such a thing.😦
