By now the whole world knows that Katharine Jefferts Schori, Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, is stepping down. That's right, she's resigning after next year's General Convention.

Well that's great, isn't it. Or is it? As someone wrote, "She’s likely to be replaced by someone worse. You do realize that."

I'll wager my fighting monkey against any 3 of your priestesses that he's right.
Not that I'm a gambling man.

Since the new ArchBishop (and Saint) is likely to have her own legion of flying/fighting monkeys, you might lose unless you can somehow retain air superiority...
ReplyDeleteAnton LaVay is dead, so he's definitely out of the running. I doubt that Justin would want LaVey, but they might try to resurrect Felix Edmundovich Dzerzhinsky (who looked a bit like LaVey) simply because of his organizational skills and dedication to staying on mission. As I understand it, LaVey was often distracted and could be found fornicating with his male and female parishioners. It's that heterosexual streak (the interest in females [too]) that would most definitely disqualify LaVey.
This is interesting.
ReplyDeleteAnton LaVey out of the running, leaving the field open for Dzerzhinsky?
I wouldn't be too sure that LaVey won't go toe-to-toe with Felix at next year's ballot in Salt lake City. Making this a closer race than we might like to imagine.
But, and it's a big question, is there an outside contender?
David Corey here (typing on my daughter's computer): Great post! I laughed at your personal pronoun, "it's" as well as at your fighting monkeys. I don't bet against fighting monkeys. They're killers.
ReplyDeleteFierce beasts, monkeys.
ReplyDeleteLSP, you could go head to head with the resurrected LaVey or Dzerhinsky as "God's candidate"?
ReplyDeleteSidebar: Isn't it just a tad strange that Salt Lake City chosen for the 2015 Episcopal General Convention? Maybe Justin plans to turn all Episcopalians into Mormons? You need to explore that. You could go to the General Convention a LS Parson and return a LS Bishop (a promotion?)...
To quote the news: "Jefferts Schori, 60, is the only female primate in the Anglican Communion"
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the fighting monkey thing may not be all that far fetched...
See? Told you.
ReplyDeleteSpoiler Alert: I'll be there but in the Press Room!
I tell you, it's a circus. Chuck a dart at the wall, get a story.
I love that LaVey died at St. Mary's Medical Center in San Francisco -it is so typical of little boys who play satanist and Felix Edmundovich Dzerzhinsky was raised Catholic -an excuse to be crazy. If you are going to have a dead replacement, for entertainment purposes, I so much prefer Gale Sondergaard -she didn't want to play an unglamorous Wicked Witch of the West, and I think it was a great regret.
ReplyDeleteInteresting call, Anonymous.
ReplyDeleteGale Sonderggaard as PB?
If only...
