I'm doubtful that the will exists in the U.S. episcopacy to deal with this, and I'm not even sure HOW they would deal with it, frankly.

A Churchill quote appropriate to our current situation: "If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."
