Beach Blanket Bingo

I wouldn't touch the Alberto Cutie story with a ten meter cattle prod.  Of course he's becoming an Episcopalian.  I'm waiting for Obama, myself.  Born Episcopalian, that man, just doesn't know it yet.   And Fr Frankie Alberto had to want to be caught; well known guy, out on the beach, canoodling.  But I was amused by this line from the news report.

The Episcopal Church allows its priests to marry and date.

What, at the same time?  Or is it first one, then the other?  Do tell. 

For those who want to know, the strangely anonymous Episcopalian Bish in the scene was probably Leo Frade, who seems to have powerfully irritated Archbishop Favarola, who seems to have been sandbagged here.  Didn't see that one coming at all, poor man.

I'll bet the TEO pointy hat is Leo. He's managed to get his face in a couple video reports I've seen about this story and he's playing this for all it's worth.

I guess it's a good move for the Episcopalians. What with the homosexual bishop thing not working, an appeal to the Fornicator-American community might be just the thing to move the numbers up.

I know that at my old joint, I can't remember an anti-adultery sermon. Considering all the people there who were sleeping with all the other people there, it would have emptied the place.
