Bob Duncan and the heterosexual lifestyle

Bob Duncan sure gets a lot of attention for a guy who has spent millions of dollars and lost his shirt in a significant court case en route to prying a whopping three percent of Episcopalians into this new anti-gay church. Here The New York Times allows him to take cheap shots at Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori without ever probing the internal contradictions within Duncan's church on the ordination of women. It is reassuring to know, though, that Duncan considers heterosexuality a "life style."

Well, I suppose we need to give credit for consistency.

Is it just me Jim, or do I detect a new freedom and liberality in your reportorial repartee?

Duncan reveals that his mother was unstable and violent and his father didn't know how to handle her. Seems these problems are reflected in Duncan's problems with women who can't be handled by men, e.g., those who feel called to be priests or bishops, or who are 'violent' like PB Jefferts Schori who he says 'turned out to be harder, far less willing to bend or compromise, than any of the men.'

Finally we know why Duncan has created such distress and expense for the church he once swore to uphold: a dominating mother and a weak father.

Wait. Isn't this the classic Freudian formula for creating a homosexual? Perhaps even a self-loathing one?
