a complete thunderbolt thing

By Diogenes ( articles ) | Jun 03, 2007

Episcopal priest #1 admits that he really wasn't interested, at first, in dating Episcopal priest #2:

“I was assuming he would be pious and narrow-minded.”

Now that's an odd prejudice, isn't it? After all, #1, you're an Episcopal priest, and you're not overly pious, are you?

As for narrow-minded, well... Just search through the wedding announcements in the New York Times until you find the joyous news of the Winslow-Lewis ceremony, in which there were 4 Episcopal priests at the altar (if indeed there was an altar), and the one woman among them was not the bride. You might find a lot of terms to use for this ceremony, but "narrow-minded" isn't one of them.

But I know you can't wait to earn what happened to our hero, who was reluctant to date a pious narrow-minded cleric. I can't give away the whole story, but he did say:

“Our eyes met from across the apartment..."

And you know how the story goes from there, don't you?

Oh, no. Believe me, you don't.

    And so why is the NCEA not being stripped of the word 'CATHOLIC' in it's acronym title? What Bishop is responsible for this attrocity...? Where's the Catholic outrage???

    This is the anti-church at work. When will the Holy See and the bishops go after the anti-church many of whom are bureaucrats ostensibly supposed to work for the Church but in fact work against the Church. Another area of deep anti-church infiltration is education. Consider all the pseudo-Catholic schools, the Planned Parenthood infiltration in the schools. This is not an accident. When will the Holy See and the bishops move against the culprits?
