Church of England: chickens on roost approach

Not surprisingly they are determined to have "women bishops."

Here's the problem. It's not a faith to these people, and it's not about God or Jesus Christ, it's about the church as a corporate entity with "power" to be obtained as the "ladder" is climbed. Don't believe me? Read this snip:

Dr Rowan Williams took to the floor of the debating chamber and said he had "not very comfortably" come to the conclusion that provisions must be made for traditionalists.

He said: "I am deeply unhappy with schemes or solutions which involve the structural humiliation of women, who are elected to the episcopate and end up haggling about the limits to their authority."

"Humiliation" of women? "Limits to their authority?" There's the difference between the true Catholic Church and those who schismed in a nutshell. Those who schismed from the Catholic Church claim that Catholics are all about "heirarchy" and "power," but that is a lie and is actually projecting onto Catholics their own schismatic unconscious value system. Non denominationals want to "form" their "own" churches, and intepret the Bible their "own" way. Church of England "feminists" want "a piece of the pie," just like they were greedy executives crawling up the pay scale. It's disgusting.

If you spend any time reading about the saints during the two thousand year history of the Catholic Church, you will find many examples of extremely holy men who RAN from being given the Bishop rank. I can flip through my encyclopedia of saints and come up with examples very quickly. There is a long and solid, consistent history of saintly men, many of whom were miracle workers or mystics, who ran from having the "next rung on the ladder" thrust upon them, not because they could not "handle the job" but because to them, the life is all about God, and the Lord Jesus Christ. Few men have "angled" for "the top job," which is why when a Pope is named he goes to "the Crying Room" to robe.

The lack of Christ orientation and lack of humility in the Church of England ASTOUNDS me. That they openly refer to it as the glass ceiling power grabbing power ladder climbing game ought to be the source of deep shame for all of them, yet obviously, it is not. What a disgrace. I hope that many "traditionalists" (aka "the faithful") will come to Rome.
