[QUOTE="Nelzador, post: 836749, member: 6057"] But the offensive tactic was used by evagelicals. This forced the liberal side of the Church to defend the appointment and I'm not surprised the Catholics were against it either. But then, they hardly have a shiny record when it comes to "clean" priests, so maybe it should be a case of [i]pot-kettle-black.[/i] Frankly as someone on the outside looking in, the appointment of a celibate gay Bishop would have been a flash in the pan and no one would really have given it a second thought, yet for some reason a few people living around the world had to take issue about it. I mean, the world is suffering from a thousand other worse things and one man's service to God and faith without harm or intent is deemed a catastrophe for the Anglican Church because he's gay? Come on now, these bishops need to get their head out of their you-know-what and start facing reality. A good majority of people don't buy the Bible as literal fact anymore. Most see it as a philosophy, which is healthier IMO than living everyday of your life like it's one big adventure out of Old Testament. Yeah, I could say the same thing about another certain document and it's take on sexuality. [/QUOTE]
