I just can't believe that the institutional church is still divided about whether to accept women as bishops. The facile argument, given by an anglo-catholic priest on the programme currently showing on Channel4, is that a priest is an iconic representative of Jesus Christ and, surprise, surprise .. the aforementioned JC was made incarnate as a male! I think there's a good possibility he was also of semitic stock ... how can this priest live with himself, being an iconic representation of Christ when he's not a Semite. Come to that, how can anyone not born of a Virgin cast himself in such an iconic role?
Talk about airs and graces!
