NO SIN IN SODOMY SAY EPISCOPAL BISHOPS
Episcopal Leaders condemn Vatican stand on homosexual marriage

A number of Episcopal bishops have weighed in on the Vatican's announcement that it would not bless homosexual unions because they view them as sinful.
They think the Pope and the Roman Catholic is wrong, and they are fierce in their condemnation of that Church's position and their continued support of the pansexual agenda and homosexual persons in the Episcopal Church.
"These words injure LGBTQ+ people and all who advocate for justice and equity for all children," Los Angeles Bishop John Harvey Taylor said March 17 in an email message to his Episcopal diocese in Southern California. The Vatican's statement, he said, "risks putting a stumbling block between Jesus Christ and all who are spiritually hungry and who need and deserve the hope of resurrection."
Newark Bishop Carlye Hughes called the news "a heartbreaker" in a video message to her northern New Jersey diocese. "I can't speak for any other denomination. I can speak for mine. I want you to know that in this church ... we recognize your goodness and we are delighted that we are all part of the same denomination, looking for God, celebrating God, sharing God's love."
Olympia Bishop Greg Rickel countered the Vatican's statement by saying his Seattle, Washington-based diocese doesn't see sin in LGBTQ couples' relationships.
"We see you and experience you as true blessings, reflections of our living God," Rickel said on Facebook. "Thank you for the inspiration and the many ways you show us how to love. Thank you for the gifts you bring to our collective body of Christ. Thank you for how you have blessed me and you bless this church."
