HOW SOON CAN WE EXPECT THE SAME ?
From a link sent in by a reader to a story in the Christian Post:
One of six Episcopal priests who had opposed the Connecticut Anglican bishop’s support for the ordination of a gay bishop was temporary banned from his church Wednesday.
If it happens in the RCC, chances are it will not be the same trigger given that we already have homosexual priests and bishops. Nevertheless, the bold step taken by the Anglicans to essentially take the church away from the faithful and its priest looks somewhat similar to what is taking place in Boston in regard to closed parishes.
Imagine your own reaction if the bishop demanded a program be implemented that worshiped the EarthSpirit the Wiccan nuns worship, and defrocked the pastor who refused to go along.
Ok, we aren't there yet, but the Catholic parish St. Joan of Arc in Minneapolis is very close given that they are promoting spiritual teachers who are teaching another gospel. The potential is there, given a bad bishop. And we already know some of our bishops have been interested in anything but the promotion of the faith, as Stephen Brady has uncovered.
