It's about the fact that there are traditionally, historically, standards that the clergy are expected to observe," he said. When asked what was wrong with a gay bishop having a partner, the Anglican spiritual leader said the scriptural and traditional approach "doesn't give much ground for being positive about it."

..that's not too surprising, really. After all, just this summer, the Vatican has pronounced that to allow women to become priests would be as sinful as child abuse. Anyone attempting their ordination will risk immediate excommunication. This new definition of the crime, part of a more general revision of serious offences against church law, including sexual abuse of children by priests, came days after the Church of England's General Synod voted in favour of legislation to consecrate women bishops. So if the Vatican won't tolerate the notion of women priests, let alone bishops, no wonder it's touchy about any suggestion that there could ever have been a woman Pope. Ls mere - [Eurozine]
