I can't think why the liberal minded person should become so venomous in denigrating others. The topic of women bishops gets the liberal lot frothing at the mouth with each trying to outdo the other on the best epithet. Traditional Christianity is given the acid tongue treatment big time. This Guardian lot of scribes reacting to an article are just an example. Do they think it enhances the debate in any way?
Robert Key is the Conservative MP for Salisbury. But he is also a proponent of female prelates. His approach is to turn the Gospel on its head. When Christ told his disciples that "My Kingdom is not of this world" it wasn't to suggest that future generations could adopt the notions of the World and supplant them in the Kingdom. Mr.Key has a topsy-turvey understanding of Christianity. He is also becoming something of a clerical bully. Not very nice. In fact, it could be termed un-Christian. I have no idea what Mr.Key thinks a woman bishop will do in a Catholic church but it certainly cannot be to promote Catholic doctrine. He is sidling up to the break-the-doors-down grouping, those who want to impose their will on those that cannot in conscience accept this innovation.
The female prelate propaganda is promoted as if the whole world-wide church is in favour. It is not. Those within Anglicanism that support this are a minute fraction of the Church. They have the temerity to believe God is allowing them to force their will onto others. A high-minded belief indeed! Within the Church of England those opposed to female prelates are not saying "NO" to those that want this. We are saying "Don't trample on our beliefs, our consciences and our understanding of the Catholic Faith".
Is it too much to ask that a little Christian charity could be placed on the table?
