I WAS greatly amused by Mac the Knife’s rant about women bishops, particularly her opinion that those who disagree are: “Hopelessly out-of-date, bigoted, sexist, closed minded and are only postponing the inevitable.” What a lovely Christian lady! Not much about “Father forgive them”.

Perhaps if her attitude is acceptable, it is as well we don’t have women bishops. Isn’t there also something about the Twelve Apostles – who were, oddly enough, men?
