Multiplication By Division
So, the Anglican Church worldwide, faces a deep rift. The burning issue at their current Convention (being held in God’s Own Country), is what to do about fag priests? The Episcopalian bit of them ordained an openly gay bishop in November 2003. Now these renegades are being told to toe the traditionalist line and repent their decision, impose a moratorium on future fag priests and end the blessing of same sex unions.
If they don’t, the Episcopal Church faces expulsion from the Anglican Church.
FuelMix can’t help but smirk. Economic historians will tell you that massive societal changes occur very 500 years or so. And how old is the Anglican Church? About 500 years old. And how did it start? By a bunch of renegades expelled by the Pope from the Catholic Church. And who was the main renegade? King Henry VIII of England.
Why did he cause so much trouble? He wanted to divorce his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, and marry Anne Boleyn (whom he later executed). The Pope wouldn’t allow the divorce and threatened to excommunicate him. Henry said, “make my day”.
In other words, human sexual attraction created a new religion. It also produced Queen Elizabeth 1, widely regarded as one of the best sovereigns England ever had.
500 years later, human sexuality has the potential to force the Episcopalian Church out on its own. Which is probably no bad thing.
Traditional Anglicans condemn the bishop's ordination by Episcopalians as “an abomination”. Really? The abomination appears to be a failure to definitively show that God hates fags. Sure, Anglicans will point to their bible – The King James Version, written by a committee under James 1 (who succeeded QE 1) and who coined the phrase, “the divine right of kings”.

And what is James famous for? Building Buckingham Palace, named after his lover, the Duke of Buckingham. Yep, James was a fag. Traditional Anglicans have been worshipping from a bible re-written on the orders of a fag. Pretty divine huh?
