Pretty funny take by Colbert on the Lambeth Conference: if they want authoritarian rule to keep their bishop’s in place, why not just return to the Catholic church?(via)BTW, if you don’t know what’s been going on with the Lambeth Conference, you can find out from Lauren Winner at Casting Stones.

Perhaps because the Pope isn’t Nigerian.

I watched again trying to figure out why no one laughed when Colbert said, “Catholicism is way better.”

Switching further entrenches both sides:
“Changing your spots makes the Anglican Church more liberal and the Roman Catholic Church more conservative,” Bishop Flack said. – “When Anglicans, Catholics switch churches, what happens to dialogue?” – CNS, 11/14/05. http://www.catholicnews.com/data/stories/cns/0506488.htm
More conservative?! Ugh.

Arinze, the Nigerian cardinal who was mentioned as a contender for the Papacy, is for a traditional understanding of the sexes and humorous: in other words, a potential Ronald Reagan. But after having a charismatic Polish Pope, those in charge in Catholicism feared to choose a charismatic African Pope.
Happily, there are Reaganesque Anglican bishops from Africa.

Colbert is a riot. I don’t know how he keeps a strait face while interviewing people.

Michele,
I’m surprized at the amount of coverage given to the minority in the Anglican Communion. I call them the minority because if they had enough votes it would go their way.
Why not rejoin the RCC then? Then they’d have to follow the doctrine which says its a sin to discriminate against gays. Most of the RCC will say that its “unjust” discrimation that is sinful but the catechism doesn’t make a distintion.
Oh and colbert rules. He should be president not Obama not McCain.
