The Anglercan'ts are looking for a new way to outrage Jesus.
Lie-beral lamestream MSM "news" source:
If anyone in Anglercan'tism thinks that there is even anything to debate, then what's being compromised is Biblical teaching, and the position that is disrespected is God's. God is quite clear about women's role in church:
1 Timothy 2:11-25: Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
He is also clear about the requirements for being a bishop:
1 Timothy 3:1-7: This [is] a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
How is a woman supposed to conform to those standards? (You lezbertarians should feel free not to answer that
.) The devil is clearly behind the issue, as one of his favorite puppets, the Roman institution, is exploiting it:

After decades of debate, the Church of England votes Tuesday on whether it will finally admit women to the ranks of bishops — under a compromise proposal that has angered the faithful on both sides of the argument.

While opening the way for female bishops, the proposal before the General Synod also commits the church, when it assigns priests and bishops, to "respect" the position of parishes that oppose them — without defining what respect means in practical terms.

Resentment of women priests is among the issues which has driven dozen of priests and more than a thousand parishioners to join the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walshingham. It was created last year by Pope Benedict XVI as a sort of halfway house where Anglicans convert to Catholicism, safe from female priests, but may keep traditions including the Book of Common Prayer.
