OBAMA GIVES NOD OF APPROVAL TO BISHOP CAUSING SCHISM IN THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH

PT:

The first openly gay priest ordained by a major Christian denomination will deliver the invocation at the kickoff inauguration event Sunday at the Lincoln Memorial.

The Rev. Gene Robinson, Episcopal bishop in New Hampshire, has accepted an invitation issued by the Obama team prior to the announcement of the Rev. Rick Warren’s selection to deliver the invocation at the president-elect’s swearing-in, Politico reported Monday.

Robinson had been a critic of Warren’s role, calling his inclusion in the event “really, really unfortunate” because of the California minister's support for California's Prop. 8, which barred same-sex marriage.

“It's about this particular venue and the role that he has in praying for all of America, and I'm just not sure he'd pray to God the same way I would,” Robinson told Beliefnet last month.

“…This particular choice [of Warren] is not about having everyone at the table for a discussion or some sort of general forum. Every choice related to who does what at the inauguration is highly symbolic, and I think the transition team failed to ask the question of what, symbolically, this might say to some of our citizens.”

Robinson said at the time his disappointment would not affect his plans to attend President-elect Obama’s inauguration.

• THEY LEAVE OUT THE MOST IMPORTANT FACT: ROBINSON'S INSTALLATION AS BISHOP IS CAUSING A MAJOR SCHISM IN HIS CHURCH. (MORE HERE.)

• HE IS A HUGELY CONTROVERSIAL PERSON IN A HUGELY CONTROVERSIAL ISSUE AND BY PICKING HIM, OBAMA IS IN EFFECT TAKING HIS SIDE.

• I THINK THAT IF GAYS WANT TO BE CONSECRATED AS CLERGY IN DENOMINATIONS WHICH DON'T WANT THEM TO BE CONSECRATED THAT THEY SHOULD START THEIR OWN DENOMINATIONS AND NOT DESTROY THE TARGETED CHURCH.

• BUT DESTROYING THE TARGETED CHURCH IS WHAT THEY REALLY WANT; T'IS THEIR GRAMSCIAN AGENDA.
