Not one, not two but five tits in a row

In a previous post I pointed out that the craven stupidity and mendacity of Archbishop Welby on the utterly disgraceful behaviour of the C of E to the late Bishop Bell of Chichester qualified him as a total tit.  Today, at The Coffee House, there is a photo of him with a pair of female priestesses, the one on the right being the new Bishop of London - yeeeeeees, quite!  Apparently, when asked, the new Bishop, no doubt a woman of sterling truth-telling virtue, was unable to say what her view was of homosexual marriage, or even homosexual practices.  The best answer she could provide was:

‘I don’t know. Sorry, but I don’t know what line the Church should take on gay marriage, or the ordination of homosexuals. I reject the secular assumption that everyone ought to have a firm opinion on every issue. So I affirm the Church’s teaching on the issue. And I trust that the Church will make the right decision as to whether to change its teaching in due course.’

Got that, have you?  All clear on C of E doctrine?  Waddya mean ya dunno?!  Just ask a Bishop!

Sometimes I despair of the C of E, or at least its upper echelons. Although I'm not myself a believer, my wife is a priest and I live in a village vicarage. Most of her work involves running food banks, helping to run the local school, consoling bereaved parents after their children have died, and so on. Not once has she been asked about chaps bummimg one another.

According to a news service here one of those sheilas will be the next Bishop of London and it seems from your bit above she is.

As a Jew I don't much care whether the next Bishop of London is a female or a guinea pig but from what you say Duffers about the lady above the guinea pig would have been a better choice. Would probably have been more positive in its answers.

So much of Western Christianity has beclowned itself that it is no wonder more people look elsewhere for guidance, or, simply ignore altogether.

Shurely that should be bishopess? Or High Priestess?

Except that the high priestesses of my imagination are generally a bit stronger in the long tawny thigh exposed below skimp grass skirt department, which frankly in this case we can probably manage well enough without.

And presumably, as she is a woman, we can no longer refer to her bishopric?

Cuffers, you are a very naughty boy and you will repeat 50 Hail Merries, ooops, sorry, I mean Hail Marys before you go to your room!
