The basic issue has never been women priests nor even the ordination of practicing homosexuals. These two issues, as serious and divisive as they may be, are simply the more newsworthy symptoms of a pathology that has gone in and out of remission for some 400 years, and that was fated to return with a fatal virulence upon the demise of British culture.

Stokes is really focusing on what is most important. I find this very interesting, but I find myself longing to read more.

Father Stokes has finally revealed the truth about the Episcopalian Church. In other word
it is more a rejection of central authority and of enabling "sola scriptura" than of anything
else. I also agree with Father Stokes that there are many Catholics who are weakly
grounded in the Catholic faith that are following this dangerous and destructive route.
