What makes me laugh is the very idea of women bishops being voted down by the Church of England. Perhaps they need reminding who is the head of the Church
Yes The Sovereign holds the title ‘Defender of the Faith and Supreme Governor of the Church of England’. Last time I looked it was a woman and has been since 1952
So if women are not deemed fit to be bishops does that make our Sovereign not fit for the top job?
Oh, please, give over with the emotive nonsense; the vote fell short by six, so it was the Church’s arcane voting rules which defeated the motion. In (almost) every other society, a simple 50+% = a majority, but they need over 60%, which leaves me (and many others) baffled.
