Church Of England Votes To Permit Women Bishops
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/07/071105anglicans.htm

Conservatives in the worldwide Anglican Church are seething with anger following a decision by the Church of England to allow women to become bishops.

The move is expected to further widen the gulf between moderates and conservatives already at odds over the role of gays in the Church.

Meeting in the historic city of York, all three houses of the Church's parliament voted Monday to "remove legal obstacles" blocking women from becoming bishops

1. Good for them. "Traditionalist" Catholics are blowing a fuse over this
just read the comments. It is like the world is ending. They slam the Church of England left and right. The issues they raise are the same ones that caused the Church of England to breakaway way back when by royal order. These people want to go back to pre-Reformation and pre-Church of England formation.
