If you take this literally, as you suggest, that phrase alone would invalidate the entire Roman Catholic church hierarchy.

I'm not Church of England, but I'm Anglican. The last Archbishop, Welby, resigned after it was discovered he was covering for child sex abusers, so clearly nobody ever got the "blameless" part of your prooftext correct. A lady archbishop is an obvious improvement. I think if they can't stop protecting child abusers, they should just burn it all down and go home. Same for your church.

That verse isn't the prooftext you think it is.

Roman Catholic Church: We're hopelessly corrupt.
Church of England: Hold my beer.

There are Anglicans here too.


Maybe even the few Anglicans here can't get excited about it.
