I’m with Rachel, the media will now have a go-to person whenever they want the church to look ridiculous or out of step

Thanks for the article by Kelvin Holdsworth. I’m not up to speed on all the local details, but even so, the general thrust of his opinion is engaging. I was interested in one comment he makes toward the end:

“I personally never renew my ordination vows at the annual chrism mass where such things are done.”

I stopped attending the Chrism/Renewal of Vows about a decade before I retired. For one thing, while ostensibly about collegiality, I came to the conclusion that the subtext is, renewing one’s oath of loyalty to one episcopal overlord.
