ARCHBISHOP AKINOLA MOVES ANGLICANS ONE STEP CLOSER TO SCHISM
according to Catholic World News. The African bishops want none of the Western softening toward homosexuality, and see in this Western trend a break in communion. Archbishop Akinola refuses to give voice to the assumption that they share the same faith, and demands that this break in communion be a lead topic for discussion at the Anglican primates meeting in Northern Ireland.
Diogenes sums it up succinctly:
Poor Rowan Williams. How very inconvenient when your Third Worlders fail to play their assigned role and roll over in awe of their polysyllabically perverse benefactors. How vexing when they point out the emperor has no clothes. How easy the church game would be if it weren't for this religion business.
Does it require an AIDS epidemic to bring this kind of clarity of thought to the topic?
