[Cerek the Barbaric]

I'm not sure how the Episcopal Church can resolve the inherent differences in the Biblical view of homosexuality and the act of confirming an openly gay Bishop. I agree that the Bishop's sexual preference is his own business, and I also agree that is God's place to judge his actions, but I don't agree with promoting him to a leadership role in the church. The Bible clearly speaks against homosexual acts, so I feel it is wrong to choose a leader living that lifestyle.

One of the questions on the survey gave the option of saying "Yes, as long as he presents an accurate version of the Bible's stance on homosexuality" (or words to that effect). But how could he honostly do that? If he does speak out against homosexuality, he will be called a hypocrite and will weaken the Anglican Church's overall position on the subject.

Before I get accused of being an intolerant, homophobic zealot...let me say that I would feel the same way if the Bishop were an admitted and unrepentant adulterer. It would be no different for the the Anglican church to promote an adulterer who planned to continue cheating on his wife to a position of authority. Both are acts of sexual immorality according to the Bible.

I also hold the same view on the Catholic bishops that are proven pedophiles. The should be completely removed from the positions of authority, not just moved to another parish.
