Reply #9: This is highly inaccurate

"Following the Bible closely"? Um, last I looked, the Episcopal church was not a literalist-fundamentalist outfit, theologically. In fact the canonical position on divorce is quite moderate--were it not, I wouldn't have been married to my wife of now 23 years thank you very much. And I believe the figure is that there are now 9 episcopal bishops who have been divorced.

Regarding Robinson's family, you are completely mistaken. Listen to the interview with Robinson on Fresh Air for a correction to this. Their divorce was completely amicable. In fact Robinson was one who had tried to "cure" himself of his gayness, and his wife was quite aware of his orientation and his struggles to "overcome" it BEFORE their marriage.

I would further add that any traditionalist who is not deeply, deeply ashamed of this last minute, transparent, EpiscoRove-ian smear attempt has lost my intellectual respect.
