TEC bishops compared unfavorably to Borgia popes

Chris Sugden paraphrasing Os Guinness:

Guinness stated that inclusivity is indifference to truth which is profoundly dangerous. He referred to a conversation with a Roman Catholic cardinal who noted that while the Borgia popes, one of whom fathered children with his own daughter, never denied a single issue of the creed, the Episcopal leaders in The Episcopal Church deny much of the creed and remain in post.
Guinness is a former Episcopalian, a member of Truro Church CANA, and a self-styled moderate evangelical.

"Rodrigo Borgia was Pope from 1492 to 1503. He is one of the most controversial of the Renaissance popes, and his surname (Italianized as Borgia) became a byword for the debased standards of the Papacy of that era; the Borgia popes greatly weakened the moral authority of the Catholic Church." - Wikipedia.
