The Guardian newspaper carries a two-page profile of Archbishop Rowan Williams today. G2 gives over four pages to the controversy of gay bishop, Gene Robinson. And on page 29 of the paper Giles Fraser writes a comment on Bishop Gene Robinson.
It is sad to see such open dispute within the Anglican Communion. But is that worse than the silence, subterfuge and dishonesty that prevails within the Catholic Church on the issue?
Would it make sense to say there are more people with a homosexual orientation ordained priests within the Anglican Communion than in the Catholic Church? Of course that is a nonsense. It is just that the Catholic Church has developed an amazing 'method' of hiding the reality.

Very True Michael - and was it the Anglican Church that was recently told by the vatican that the appointment of a woman bishop would be an impediment to reconciliation? It seems to me that the catholic church view on sexuality is that it is an inconvenient reality!
Sadly the RC church has willingly received many Anglican clergy as priests whose sole reason for crossing the Tiber was the ordination of women. So we take those who are disdainful of women clergy, but allow them to be married while demanding celibacy of our own clergy. What breathtaking hypocrisy.
Two excellent points.
I imagine the Anglican Communion and the Catholic Church have much in common when it comes to sexual issues. The difference is that the Catholic Church seems to be far more dishonest in how it deals with the matters.
