[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every thread about the Episcopal church turns ugly. Why? I understand that people disagree but why the bashing? Especially of Bishop Schori?[/quote]

[b]Because 1-2 of the frequent posters here were part of the schism a few years ago when some left the Episcopal Church over women’s ordination and gay marriage—they now refer to themselves as Anglicans. As evidenced by recent vitriolic posts on other threads, they’re still hopping mad that the Episcopal Church wouldn’t let them keep the church buildings after they left.[/quote][/b]

I don't think so.  It would be impossible to have a discussion about current affairs in the Catholic Church without a discussion about the Pope's tweets and messages.  Similarly, Schori was head of the Episcopal Church here in the USA and left it bankrupt and in shambles because she initiated all the lawsuits.  One can't really have a discussion about problems within an institution without talking about its heads and their positions[/quote]

[b]The Episcopal Church itself and Schori are totally separabl[/b]e, and you’re not making sense. You can have a low opinion of Schori’s financial management skills and still think the Episcopal Church itself has much to offer.

So to return to pp’s question, why do you show up on every thread to trash the church itself? You’ve made it abundantly clear, on this thread and every related thread, that you don’t like gays and women ministers. So why can’t you let it drop now? Don’t put a rainbow bumper sticker on your car and don’t attend the Episcopal Church. Easy, done. Move on, spend your time worshipping and volunteering with the Anglican Church if that’s your think. However, your obsession with Schori makes me think this really is lasting bitterness over the buildings. I’m not that familiar with her or when she was in charge, but arguably all those lawsuits were just defending the church against the theft of its property and buildings, and the courts apparently agreed. So enough, move along, for your own sake if not ours.[/quote]

Sure, just like the Pope and the Catholic church are separable :roll:   And I'm not whatever PP you think you're talking to. I think there are a number of voices here.  I've never said anything about gay ministers.[/quote]

Well, the pope and the Catholic Church are seperable. Frances is quite obviously way out in front of the rest of the Vatican. Your analogy falls apart in every direction.[/quote]
