Anglican Mainstream

I have decided to start a virtual trophy room, in which I shall mount the stuffed quotes which display the canonical ignorance of those on the left who ought to know better, but who manifestly do not. Thus, welcome to the first edition of "Canonical Absurdities on the Left." (The trophy room for those on the right will also be set up at an appropriate time, but its specimens will not, from my experience, be as numerous.)

If by chance people are going to withhold consents because of [Bishop-elect] Mary [Glasspool]'s sexuality, it would be a violation of the canons of this church.

Oh, really, Bishop Bruno? I take it you must be referring to Canon III.1.2, which reads:

No person shall be denied access to the discernment process for any ministry, lay or ordained, in this Church because of race, color, ethnic origin, national origin, sex, marital status, sexual orientation, disabilities or age, except as otherwise provided by these Canons. No right to licensing, ordination, or election is hereby established.

Do you see those two words "discernment process", Bishop? And do you see that last sentence? "No right to . . . ordination or election is hereby established."
