I Was Wondering What To Post About ...

... and Dr Helen-Ann Hartley, newly-consecrated Bishop of Waikato in New Zealand and the first woman ordained in England to be elevated to the episcopal bench, solved my dilemma.
Nobody is going to take women bishops seriously until they at least discover a catalogue from Watts of Exeter. It is no real excuse to blame the Colonies as one sees similar excrescences here, but by way of mitigation the whole New Zealand hierarchy does seem to have got its schmutter from Christmas crackers. 

As the great Pugin once said in despair to a priest who lamentably fell short of his exacting standards, 'What is the use, my dear sir, of praying for the conversion of England in a cope like that?'
