An English suffragen bishop has been effectively suspended indefinitely - despite much support - for referring to the forthcoming royal wedding as 'nauseating tosh'. So a church that allows viscious homophobes and misogynists (quite illegal in other areas of society) won't tolorate republicans. He was suspended by his immediate boss, the Bishop of London, who a little while ago said that buying a car or taking foreign holidays was a sin, while being driven around his diocese by his chauffeur and frequently flying the Atlantic. I don't remember ever reading about Jesus commenting specifically on republicanism but he had rather a lot to say about hypocrits. But then the Anglican Church has little to do with Jesus. Reaction from Beardie: as you might expect. Doc John - I altered the thread title in hopes of making it more specific. -Joe Offer-
