Integrity or a Lie?
According to The Times of London (as reported by the Catholic News Agency, Aug. 3), “Vicky” Gene Robinson, the Episcopal Bishop of New Hampshire, said the Anglican Church of England would be close to shutting down if it weren’t for “gay” and lesbian clergy. No doubt, this is true.
Robinson said that many clergy live with “gay” and lesbian partners, with the full knowledge of their Church of England bishops, but their bishops warn them against making their relationships public. This is subterfuge, actually a lie.
