Now that's just asking for it

The Episcopal church, as if it didn't have enough difficulties at the moment, has appointed a leader who says that homosexuality isn't sinful. Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori will take office later in the year.

I mean, come on people. Are you trying to get kicked out of the church?

What makes the whole thing even slimier is that the liberal wing of the church is using the fact that she's a woman to belittle anyone who disagrees with her. The Canadian Primate Andrew Hutchinson said "Having a chief consecrator who is a woman may be a difficulty for some of you."

Yeah. That's the real issue.

In related news, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Rowan Williams, seems to recommend that the Church of England not ordain woman bishops. His reasoning is a little odd, and seems mostly to turn on the assertion that "Rome won't like us if we do this". Not exactly the most direct of arguments, but I'll take it. Whatever else he may be, his dedication to the unity of the church is admirable.
