Finally someone who gets it, and talks about it. Should be required veiwing by all politicians, Republicans, conservatives,bloggers, and talk show hosts.

I never thought I would agree with a Catholic Bishop on what constitutes "immoral" behaviour... hehe

Homosexual activists know the importance of words.

Please visit my channel to watch a one-minute video clip in which famous atheist Richard Dawkins admits that homosexual activists "hijacked the word 'gay'".

The word "gay" has helped homosexual activists push their dishonest agenda on unsuspecting people.

The word "homosexual" is more appropriate and accurate because it, unlike the word "gay", actually describes the behavior/attraction/relationsh­ip being discussed.

He's a bishop in the Episcopal Church.

Anyway, Episcopalians kind of run the gamut, and can be elitist, hate change, or very open and willing to put Jesus' teaching to help others into action by helping feed the hungry and homeless..... Just as an example are two Episcopal churches about 7 miles apart. I know this issue quite well. American Episcopalians have women ministers and support the rights of GLBT people (causing much schism with conservative African Anglicans). Bishop Gene has been in a long term partnership with a man.

@sabymoon I'm familiar with the roots of the CoE and the episcopalians... I'll rephrase: I never expected to concur with *any* kind of christian on the topic of morality... actually, that's not entirely true, there are a lot of crux points between my morality and the christian ideal...

@FelisPanthera He's an Episcopal bishop. The Episcopal Church broke away (as Anglican, or Church of England) from the Catholic in the 1500s. It was part of the Protestant Revolution, although Henry VIII of England mainly founded it (& made himself head it) so he could divorce Catherine, Princes of the Spanish kingdom of Aragon, and also because he wanted to replenish the Royal treasury with tribute from local churches...both were caused by the War of the Roses over who got to be king.

@swissalmond ahh, I sit corrected... to be fair though, from the outside, all christians look pretty much alike ;)

[swissalmond]

@FelisPanthera For the record, Robinson is actually an Episcopal Bishop. Anyway, he has done a wonderful job of explaining the root of dissatisfaction with Wall Street.

I'd love to see this whole thing, unedited. The two segments I've seen so far are fantastic.
