[UK] Katharine Jefferts Schori ‘embellishes’ her CV to become the first female primate of the AC

I find it completely fascinating that this well-known issue with the Presiding Bishop's CV has cropped up again, this time over at a UK blog. You simply must read the blog and the comments -- fun reading.

The fact that Katherine Jefferts Schori embellished her credentials was well-known and discussed copiously on blogs in 2006. Two blogs that had a heap of fun with it -- the old Classical Anglican Net News and T19 [back before it was at its current website address] don't have the posts from 2006 up so we've lost those links -- which were pretty fun. But the news was distributed widely across blogland.

It was so commonly known that it was also referred to frequently in comments in blogland . . . by numerous and varied commenters.

Now -- this issue is being [happily] publicized over on the wonderful Cranmer's blog with a bit of new news -- which is that the PB and her staff are *still* concerned enough over the mention of her being "Dean" of a "school of theology" on her CV to run around attempting to edit her wiki page.

That's a truly enthralling tidbit of news to me.

But I still wonder why it is of interest *now*. The truth is, folks, we all knew about the PB's little issue with her CV -- and it was clear that the liberals and revisionists currently in charge of TEC simply didn't care about it.

So it's a bit like folks trumpeting that Frank Griswold signed off on the 2003 emergency Primates meeting communique.

Revisionist activists in TEC lie.

Nobody really cares about that -- it's expected and assumed.

Don't get me wrong -- I'm glad it's getting noticed again. But I don't see why that's so.
