In a November entry I suggested that the Church of England seemed destined to follow the path of the Church in Wales if promises of a secure place in the church for traditionalists were not honoured. They were not; the vote was lost. The latest episode in the shameful treatment of Fr North should act as a salutary warning that lust, like greed and anger is another deadly sin committed in the name of so-called equality and without a great deal of contrition is likely to see another defeat.
If women insist on being robed in purple they first need to understand the basics of what they have entered into, as do their supporters.
You are quite right; Father Philip North would be an excellent Bishop. I've known him for several years and it is very sad that the bigots in Whitby have organised a campaign against him.
