It's been a long time coming but the ever bending Episcopal Diocese of L.A. has a crack that's now widening.
... hundreds of conservative Episcopal congregations in North America formed a breakaway church amid a rift that began with the ordination of a gay bishop in New Hampshire five years ago.
and now this:
The bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles has announced that church leaders can bless the unions of same-sex couples as a matter of policy.
Read the story:
Episcopal Diaocese of L.A. officially condones the blessing of gay unions
What will happen to those hundreds of congregations? Maybe a move to the Catholic Church is in order.
The Episcopal bishop is a former cop and was baptized in the Catholic church. Looks like he could be directing traffic as his more orthodox members turn toward the Church he turned away from.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if what you say is true and it really doesn't matter. Truth of the church is not dependant on those that claim to follow her.
ReplyDeleteA few weeks ago Maria Shriver claimed in an article to be a "Catholic in good standing", then in the same breath said she was pro-choice and considered herself a 'Cafeteria Catholic'.

Today's readings (12/16/08) from Matt 21:28-32 bring some sense to this...
