Why this would be any of their business is anyone's guess. Must be a slow day in Vatican City. Maybe they should consider how much they want to pay to get their hostage cracker back instead. :)

"Duke said that while Jesus named no female disciples, he used and valued woman in radical and different ways for his time."
No one disputes that Jesus and the Church held a high view of the dignity and place of women in the Body of Christ. However, it is VERY clear in the OT and the NT that only men could be priests, and by consquence, bishops. And it is NOT rooted in transient cultural norms, but rather in the very creation model itself, in the nature and calling of women in God's created order. All this is is the anti-biblical policies that have been unleashed by feminism, in the culture and now in the Church. These liberal Anglican, et al. care little to nothing about the Scriptures or Church precedent; they care only about the goose bumps they feel when they implement their rebellious, in-God's-face queer and feminist agendas in changing the Church's ancient Scriptural and traditonal MO.
