Der Popenführer announces a new scheme to let anglicans that are unhappy with women priests and the C of E's soft approach to filthy, disease-carrying gays to jump ship to his gang while still keeping their own identity. :roll:

As long as he keeps the poaching liquid from boiling, the results should be acceptable...

My uncle-in-law is an Anglican priest/vicar/clown who voted against women. I'd love to have a conversation with him about his reasoning one day, or even just religion, though he seems to steer clear of it. He used to be a mathematician.

I suppose a person could love the logic of maths and still believe in god. I've never quizzed him about it as he doesn't seem to discuss matters of religion at all really.

All the conservative anglicans should become catholics, and all the liberal catholics should become anglicans...

Sort of like the partitioning of India... :twisted:

Now the Anglican church is complaining that it wasn't properly consulted. :hehe:
