Bloody Romans, coming over here, stealing our sexist bishops…

[almostwitty]

BBC News: “Some Anglican clergy have said they are ready to accept an offer to join the Roman Catholic Church at a meeting of about 600 conservative priests. … Many who are considering conversion are unhappy at women bishops being introduced into the Church of England.”

"Never mind our FUNDAMENTAL AND IRRECONCILABLE DOCTRINAL DIFFERENCES, the women must be silenced!"

Quite so! You'd think the defectors'd be worried about signing up to an organisation that demands they believe in extra magic bits, not even because they somehow wangled a quotation about something similar from the Bible, but just because the Pope says so, and which could technically decree things at them at any time, all because the Pope says they can keep some of their own practices (and how long will that last)?

Yeah, not a particular fan of the Catholic memeplex. I had hoped it would peter out (har har) quietly.
