McIntyre, Baltimore Sun, March 20, 1994)<\/p>\n<p>Oh how glorious!  \u201cThe mother church of Anglicanism follows the example of the dozen Anglican provinces &#8212; the United States, Canada and New Zealand among them &#8212; that have already taken the momentous step,\u201d reports the McIntyre.  And, it wasn\u2019t long after this wonderful news of human progress (down the road of apostasy and decadence) that the same progressives would be not only tolerating unrepentant sodomites in not only the parish but in the pulpit.  And soon, thereafter, approval of and performance of sodomite \u201cmarriages\u201d would follow.  <\/p>\n<p>Yes, how gloriously asinine.   That was back in \u201994.  Asininity and depravity have not subsided.<\/p>\n<p>Shall we predict ecclesiastical approbation of bestiality and even the right to marry as well as copulate with one\u2019s horse, dog, cat, bird, or fish?  <\/p>\n<p>Why not?  That\u2019s real liberation!  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cGive us liberty!\u201d (from God\u2019s law and from His gift of life?).  <\/p>\n<p>Yes, \u201cGive us the death\u201d (from AIDS, indeed, and from the Almighty\u2019s own promised hand).<\/p>\n<p>Fools!<\/p>\n<p>Here is the reply from the faithful Fr. Anthony Kennedy, an Anglican clergyman, when he heard the news back in1994.  <\/p>\n<p>CACN, Summer, 1994<br \/>\nA Good Kennedy!<\/p>\n<p>\tThe &#8220;bloody bitches&#8221; should be burned like medieval witches, said Rev. Anthony Kennedy.  He is a vicar of the Church of England and was talking about female priests.  He serves several small villages in Lincolnshire, in central England and made the comments to as many newspapers.  He told the Guardian, &#8220;Let the bloody women go off and start their own politically correct church and religion&#8221; (Washington Times, 10 Mar., 1994).  Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>August, 2011 A Voice for Tradition and Truth \u201cThe General Synod of the Church of England set the process in motion.
