    Now just a minute John, who do you think you are, calling me a dissembling, manipulative, egocentric, self-serving, narcissistic, publicity-seeking despot who's only aim in life has been to recreate the Church in Wales in my own image and likeness? And as for suggesting that that I had any influence over the outcome of the electoral college, and that I was desperate to consecrate a woman before I retired. Careful, or I'll take you a to a tribunal as well!

  8. Alternatively Alwyn he could take his gripe to the Provincial Court where he could exercise complete impartiality at crozier's length and yet control the outcome. There is precedence for this.
    Hang 'em high!

  13. “I’ve heard it said that there’s also a special place in Hell for those who set out to destroy the one Catholic and Apostolic Church”,
    “Shurely you don’t believe in Hell when you don’t believe in the physical Resurrection? You’ll be saying you believe in witches next!”

  15. Poor Joanna! she was happier in her skin (and had not then lost weight) before she took on the cares of the diocese, and, I am deeply sorry to say, she caused a few grey hairs to form on senior clergy. She had a ro!e in life before she became a deluded priestess. I can't help liking her BUT, I deeply regret to write, she is not helping the Church. Much better if she can change her role.

  17. Barry, you have given her my stick! Well, she's not getting her hands on my pectoral cross, that's for certain; and at least I've got a bigger mitre than you two!
