Anglicanism - Christianity For Homosexuals

[harvey]

With the split in the Anglican communion being largely down to the issue of homosexuality and the increasingly "camp" culture amongst the Anglican clergy, will this split further reinforce Anglicanism as "Christianity for homosexuals"?

I have a lot of respect for Anglicanism, in particular High Anglicanism, but there are serious issues to be dealt with if the whole communion isn't to implode on itself. I think a move to the Catholic Church is a prudent move by any right-minded minister. Leave the gays at it and watch as the fall-out unfolds. It's the well-intentioned, innocent Church-goer caught up in this mess who I feel sorry for.

Not only gays in the clergy, but also married persons, and wimmin. God help us.

Again your simplifying the subject as there are a number of issues the defecting anglicans have problems with including the ordination of women and the growing acceptance of homosexuals!!!

and the increasingly "camp" culture amongst the Anglican clergy,

Could you expalin your comment on the increasingly "camp" culture amongst the Anglican clergy

will this split further reinforce Anglicanism as "Christianity for homosexuals"?

Again your simplifying the subject as there are a number of issues the defecting anglicans have problems with and all this split will do move the more fundamenalist member of the anglican church to the roman catholic church (and we dont need any more fundamenalist members!!)

Nice to know pitty you dont have any repect for gay people or their rights!!!

but there are serious issues to be dealt with if the whole communion isn't to implode on itself.

Yes they have to deal with these issues but in a way that facilitates both side of the issue as no matter how much some member of the Anglican church would wish gay people still believe in god and are member of their church!!!

I think a move to the Catholic Church is a prudent move by any right-minded minister.

Why???

Leave the gays at it and watch as the fall-out unfolds. It's the well-intentioned, innocent Church-goer caught up in this mess who I feel sorry for.

let them become roman catholics however you find that the anglican church will survive and will get on fine without them including the well-intentioned, innocent Church-goer!!!

I thought Unitarianism was Christianity for homosexuals...

Yeah leave the church where the gays are to come to the Church where the paedophiles hang out. Seriously. Selective blindness is what I believe you are suffering from. The Catholic Church-goers is who I feel sorry for.

If it came to a choice between spending my Sundays in the company of a bunch of gays or somebody associated with paedophilia and the subsequent cover-up of paedolphilia I know what choice I'd make.

Until the Catholic Church makes amends to all its victims it should be boycotted.

The Anglicans have a sense of social morals at least.

Strange because homosexuals tend to gather around the "High Church" wing of the Church of England, etc and Anglicanism was always based around a compromise between Presbetyeriansim and Roman Catholicism for political reasons which is a good reason that it doesnt deserve the same respect as Lutheranism or Methodism.

How can it be a prudent move when their are huge dogmatic differences between Anglicanism and the RCC? Most "Anglo-Catholics" would feel much more comfortable with either Orthodoxy or Old Catholicism.

But the actual details of things usually escape your brain dont they Harvey? Do you consider Lasange eating a perversion aswell?

I think you will find that Protestant clergy are a LOT less camp than Roman Catholic ones.

You won't find any openly homosexual priests in the Catholic Church. If they dared engage in such behaviour in full view of their parishoners, they'd be sent to Craggy Island. The pro-gay Anglican Church on the other hand seems perfectly content to have a bunch of fairies on the altar preaching the word of God.

You do know Craggy Island isnt real right???
