Another One Bites The Dust

The one-time bastion of Anglo-Catholic orthodoxy and forward leaning Missal liturgy, St. Mary the Virgin, Times Square, has rededicated itself to Ss. Sappho and Pansextes. Apparently unaware of the irony of the decision, the parishe's Rector defended the new nomenclature, "Nothing's really changed, we're just being honest about ourselves. 'Smokey Pansextes' is an inclusive, welcoming church."
Too bad, I used to like that church back in the days when it was under the patronage of Our Lady. Preached my first sermon there - I was terrified, the homily was incoherent, but the people were kind.
Deus Vult.
