Several Bishops ar retiring those weeks ago just because they closed pedophils in their church... Today a Bishop retired himself from a Diocese in Belgium, just because he assumed that he is a pedophil!!!... It is incredible!!!... Who will trust in such kind of Church in the future if these kinds of situations don't stop?... Probably anyone!!!...<br /><br />Good Evening!...Pensamento Positivohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15966734551651698758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3320087.post-8795333741599932782010-04-23T16:42:40.310-04:002010-04-23T16:42:40.310-04:00Hi!...

Fortunatly Church of England is more democratic than Roman Catholic Church and remains tied with the state. And it is good to remember: Between English population, gay subjects are no usually question. If the church goes to the conservative side, most of England people exits the Church. They know this... More 1/3 of the priests ar women... After this, it seems that they will elect a new pragmatic ABC... Probably not an extremely progressive one, but certainly better tban +++RW.<br />I certainly agree with "Paul (A.)". Desmond Tutu is a cleric of another era some years ago when people thought with their own head!!!... Fortunatly PB ++Schori is doing a good job... And is becoming a reference to many people in the world, more notably since we have these pedophilia scandal in our Roman Catholic Church!... But I agree: Tutu is a symbol of what a good Christian should be!...<br />I suspect that +++RW dream was to improve conservativism in CofE in order to join with the Catholics in a few years... But his desastrous agreement with the Pope to the acceptance of conservative Anglicans in spetial dioceses in RC Church a few mouths before the Pedophilia scandar ended his little chances to be well succeed.<br />I suspect that in CofE, they will just grant him a way to finish his mandate with dignity...<br /><br />Good Evening!...Pensamento Positivohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15966734551651698758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3320087.post-26202822813013114852010-04-23T09:32:24.807-04:002010-04-23T09:32:24.807-04:00Why bother indeed!

He was a lifelong Episcopalian and a well respected person.<br />At his Eucharistic memorial service a bloc of "Anglicans", who had walked away from our Episcopal church, did not go to the altar rails to receive Communion. <br />If they had stayed in the back of the church their disrespect would have gone unnoticed but they had taken seats just behind the Reserved pews. <br />They do not want to be in Communion with us. Let them go.swachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03356871683557103508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3320087.post-2420857217001399752010-04-23T04:15:18.593-04:002010-04-23T04:15:18.593-04:00Rowan and BXVI spend too much time instructing ins...Rowan and BXVI spend too much time instructing instead of doing.¨ TSH<br /><br />Neither one of them do a very good job of the ¨telling¨ either...I submit that both ought get themselves rightsized FAST!
