'Gay' anger at Queen's support for traditionalists
She told the heads of the traditionalist group, formed in response to the liberal direction of some parts of the Anglican Communion, that she “understood their concerns” about the future of the 80 million-strong global church.
The Queen, who is the Supreme Governor of the Church of England, has also wished them well with today’s launch in London of a new alliance of evangelical and Anglo-Catholic parishes in Britain and Ireland.
Her intervention will surprise many because the group, called the Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans, is feared by some to be a divisive force and one of its senior figures was this weekend accused of being homophobic....
I welcome the Bishop's stance and commend his courage.
I am a little confused why he has chosen to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Anglo-Catholics, as an evangelical I would have thought he would object to their rituals, their statues and their Marian worship.
The Anglo-Catholic movement is riddled with sodomites, it was started by Newman and Pusey who were both sodomites and if anybody has ever been to Walsingham, they would see a great majority of the Anglo-Catholic clergy are also sodomites.

Chauvinism - "1870, "exaggerated, blind patriotism," from Fr. chauvinisme (1843), from Nicholas Chauvin, soldier, possibly legendary, of Napoleon's Grand Armee, notoriously attached to the Empire long after it was history. Popularized in Fr. 1831 through Cogniard's vaudeville "La Cocarde Tricolore." Meaning extended to "sexism" via male chauvinism (1970). The name is a Fr. form of L.

Too defiant to give up, Chocolate. Or to give up chocolate, for that matter.
So are you saying some followers of Calvin could be seen as exaggerated blind folk?

Article says the conservative traditionalists are divisive? No. It is the homosexuals and the liberals who are divisive. The traditionalists get my support. The Bible says the same thing....homosexuality is sin and cannot be condoned.
I'm sadden to see this new group wants to remain loyal to the Church of England, they really don't seem to understand [URL=http://www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?currSection=sermonssource&sermonID=1070414423]]]The Truth Behind The Church's Purpose[/URL].
1Corinthians 6 9. Or know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with men, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you: but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.

Well done your Majesty.
However It would not surprise me to hear later this week of an 'official climbdown'
God is still recorded as saying.... "13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them." Lev 20.
