It's no surprise that the seriously demented people in the Vatican have expressed regret at the Church of England's welcoming of women bishops. But I thought I'd mention it, since we've been on the subject.
The madmen in the Vatican say the ruling would present a "new obstacle" to reconciliation between the so-called "Holy See" and the Anglican Communion.
"We learned with regret the news of the vote of the Church of England that opens the way to the introduction of legislation that would lead to the ordination of women bishops," the Vatican said in a statement.
Well poor bloody "Holy See"! Perhaps Anglicans ought just to tell them they're an out-of-date bunch of wankers who have no relevance in today's world. In their own chosen form of language, of course, which I'm sure would be more mealy-mouthed than mine!

We welcome lively and challenging comments. However, please try to stay on topic, be polite and do not use abusive, racist or sexist language, and do not incite your readers to violence or other antisocial behaviour, or your comment will be deleted. This isn't censorship: it's a case of staying within the bounds of decency and having an eye to the law, although we realise the law will be different in different countries.
We do not bar anonymous comments at the moment, but we would prefer that those commenting play fair and use their name or at least a regular nom de plume. It does show a confidence in your convictions. We know, too, that it's easy to use a false name and be effectively anonymous, but, again, we appeal to your sense of good practice. Even a wacky nom de plume is better, since at least readers will come to know that contributor and maybe remember her or his previous comments.
Blatant commercial advertising will be removed.
