The new consensus

Sometimes items on this blog visit one another.

Today, this item, on the Primates communique had coffee with this item about the recent debate in Nigeria's legislature on a bill that legalizes a variety of human rights violations.

The first item said: "Hey, did you see that the Primates said that a candidate for bishop who is living in a same-gender relationship "shall not receive the necessary consent unless some new consensus on these matters emerges across the Communion."

And the second item said: "No, but I was talking with Professor Friday Okonofua an advisor to Nigeria's president who says that homosexual relationships increase your risk of cancer and mental retardation."

I believe in the Holy Spirit, but I am not expecting this new consensus any time soon.
