Episcopal Church Weighs Ban on Straight White MalesVirtue Online ^ | 7-13-13 | David W. Virtue
Posted on 07/13/2013 11:03:47 AM PDT by ReformationFan
Episcopal Church gays and lesbians are weighing a resolution to be put forward at the next General Convention making it illegal for straight white males to be admitted to the priesthood.
LA Bishop Mary Glasspool, an avowed lesbian and one of many lesbians and gays supporting the "no white males resolution", crafted her resolution after hearing a straight white male preaching a sermon condemning homosexual behavior last month.
"I was shocked, stunned, blown away and mortified. I have never heard such homophobia coming from a pulpit. That was my moment to say enough is enough.
"This comes down to a choice between misogynistic white males versus gays and lesbians in an ever shrinking church and LGBTQI folk who insist they should be able to get laid by whomever, whenever because G-d loves them just the way they are, and we choose justice, inclusion and integrity."
Bishop Glasspool said she has the support of bishops like Gene Robinson, Otis Charles, Frank Griswold, clergy like Susan Russell and pedophiles and sexual abusers like Bede Parry and many more gays who have yet to come out of the closet. She said the resolution would keep out men who only had a penile interest in women, hate-mongers, homophobes, and other gay hating types. She said she was deeply moved by the late Ronald Haines Bishop of Washington who unofficially adopted that policy when he was bishop there. It worked so well the diocese is now being largely sustained financially by the Soper Fund.
"Straight white males are only good for breeding future gays if we can screw up the family relationships early enough in their lives, but we do not want them preaching, running churches, and definitely not bishop material, it's an insult to our dignity and integrity," opined Glasspool.
But a straight white bishop, the Rt. Rev. Gregory Brewer (CF), believes that the total ban on straight white males goes "too far". He is proposing a less draconian resolution that would allow some white men who love women to remain in the Episcopal Church as associate rectors and vicars.
Glasspool concurred. "The Episcopal Church needs white males to clean up the refreshments in the kitchen on Sunday morning after the service is over. Men can clean the pews and the elements and lick plates in case the water is turned off because of an unpaid water bill," said Glasspool, noting that a large number of churches bordered on extinction owing to the collapse of heterosexual marriages.
"If they show that they can do those things and stay out of church politics, there might just be a pathway to ordination if they behave themselves and subject themselves to women priests some of whom have strong sado-masochistic tendencies."

One cannot believe that even in a corrupted Obamanist era Church, anyone can be ordained who is totally unfamiliar with the Bible. Based upon that premise, this woman is obviously delusional.

The ECUSA has an enormous amount of financial resources - not just land and buildings, but cash and securities holdings from generations of bequests and donations.The goal of this crew is drive away as many believers as possible while keeping the resources.
Imagine having a congregation of 50 aging liberals. You conduct one service per week - one hour's work.
In return, you are paid over $100,000 per year, you live rent-free in a lavish home, you drive a parish car, you have unlimited free time and a gold-plated retirement and health package.
All you need is a majority of the parish trustees and a cooperative bishop and you are on the gravy train for life.

Dear Queer Giraffes,
Due to the discriminatory nature of sexual organs, congress has determined in fairness that all fetuses are to be genetically altered as gender neutral. Opposition parties have supported the measure in that it provides if you like your gender, you can keep it.
Thank you for your continued support in upcoming elections,

Whatever ammunition is used against them in this case will be returned when churches refuse to recognize minority males turned females as candidates for the priesthood.

The Episcopal Church is attempting to embrace and encourage every sexual abnormality possible.?Q? is for Questioning
?I? is for Intersex - someone who has both male and female sex organs.
When ECUSA rejected the Bible and allowed homosexuals to be Bishops, everyone I knew bailed. Now ECUSA lies about membership, is selling off assets, and is still exploring the boundaries of sexual perversion. Look for bestiality and child sex to follow.
To: wideawake
That?s precisely the case.
Churches have always attracted rent-seekers of a certain type. In this case excess money and no outside feedback seems to have corrupted it completely. They can in fact run their scam for as long as they like, even if their congregations decline into triviality.
In the old days the Anglicans came close to this, being not answerable to their congregations or communities, but arguably were kept out of trouble as the local landowners had the authority to appoint local clergymen. Often abused for political reasons or to give ne?er do well younger sons something to do, but most often exercised responsibly. Kept the institution tied closely both to the people and the aristocracy.
This system broke down there, with the decline of the aristocracy, and the infection spread.
When other churches or religions suffer from corrupt episodes though, the ?media? notices. A mafia living off the Episcopal corpse doesn?t seem to have attracted much notice.

Glasspool added, they will also be required to:
1. Memorize, and be able to recite fully, the Vagina Monologues, one of the additional books to our bible.
2. Begin their conversion to the female gender within months, and carry around a Church ID card with a picture clearly depicting what their new Vagina will look like.
Strict guidelines will be applied, i.e., no bikini waxes/trims, etc. A full and natural Vagina hair patch will be required to be maintained at all times, along with equivalent armpit hair -- and inspections will be performed, to compare their Vagina ID to their newly acquired Vagina, on a schedule defined by their female bishop.
However, to show that we are more merciful than God, we will allow the men to comb their Vagina patch, parted down the middle -- but NO combovers, hair tinting, or spiked hair styles will be allowed!
3. All additional rules to be identified in the upcoming "Lesbian Women Aren't Going To Take Any More Guff From God!" conference next month in San Francisco, USA. It is a George Soros/Barak Obama sponsored event.
To: ReformationFan; All
Mary Glasspool: I have never heard such homophobia coming from a pulpit. The gentleman wasn't simply volunteering his opinion about same-sex sexual relationships ma'am. The Holy Bible clearly condemns such relationships. In fact, Romans 1:22-27 indicates that such relationships are a consequence of idolatry, disobedience of the 1st Commandment.

Guess not.
I was raised in the Episcopalian church, but bowed out decades ago. They were creepy back then and their "all gay, all the time" agenda has only made them creepier.
Having set out on a path of self-destruction, their eventual demise will not be a surprise and they won't be missed. Back when I attended Episcopalian masses, they perverted God's word and now they're perverting it even more.

Mary Glasspool: I have never heard such homophobia coming from a pulpit. The gentleman wasn't simply volunteering his opinion about same-sex sexual relationships ma'am. The Holy Bible clearly condemns such relationships. In fact, Romans 1:22-27 indicates that such relationships are a consequence of idolatry, disobedience of the 1st Commandment.

Yeah, I?m sorry but they are really a mess. Thanks for explaining those QI things to me.

What the Episcopal Church has allowed itself to become, I sense will not go down well on the other side.

King Henry VIII: the original host of ?Queen For A Day?!
The best satire is that which skates closest to the unbelievable truth.
If the Episcofaggies aren?t saying it, they?re d@mn well thinking it.

Episcopal Church gays and lesbians are weighing a resolution to be put forward at the next General Convention making it illegal for straight white males to be admitted to the priesthood. LA Bishop Mary Glasspool, an avowed lesbian and one of many lesbians and gays supporting the "no white males resolution", crafted her resolution after hearing a straight white male preaching a sermon condemning homosexual behavior last month.When I first read this I thought it had to either be from The Onion, or satire. Guess not.
I was raised in the Episcopalian church, but bowed out decades ago. They were creepy back then and their "all gay, all the time" agenda has only made them creepier.
Having set out on a path of self-destruction, their eventual demise will not be a surprise and they won't be missed. Back when I attended Episcopalian masses, they perverted God's word and now they're perverting it even more.

Is this satire? I can?t tell.
As for, LGBTQI, can we just add on the P already?

Yes, if you go to the original posting, it is label ?a satirical essay.?
I am amazed by the number of commenters who jumped to the conclusion that the article is genuine.

I thought this was a satire, but it?s true? I have heard a few homosexuals starting to say that their lifestyle is superior to the lifestyles of heterosexuals.

I have never heard such homophobia coming from a pulpit. Unfortunately, she's probably right.

Oh, satire. I prefer when it is clear it?s satire. Sort of a practical joke of the kind I always dislike.
