But it is hard, as even the Grey Lady confesses: "But for Katharine Jefferts Schori, since 2006 the presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church in the United States, memories of Curaçao will always be associated with the controversy that greeted her upon her return - another controversy in what has already been a rocky tenure as the head of a troubled, shrinking church."
That's a reference to Schori's sermon of a month ago, in which she ignored the text, context, and everything in between the two in providing a confusing, feminist-inspired interpretation of Acts 16:16-34. Her basic point was that the Apostle Paul was a narrow minded, ungrateful, and selfish jerk (that's a lengthy description of what many feminists otherwise call "men"). As I concluded at the time, after examining Schori's laughable exegesis, "Alas, Schori's attachment to the ideology of the present age and the fads of political correctness blind her to what should be obvious to someone professing to be a Christian."
