Sign of the times of the day (Canada edition): Women priests perform the Vagina Monologues in church
The cathedral on James North, the centrepiece of the Anglican Diocese of Niagara, was built 1852-1876. Back then they didn’t envision plays in the church, certainly not with such language and content, and certainly not with the lines being delivered by ordained Anglican priests.
Back then, they really would’ve been shocked. You might imagine. But mostly because those ordained priests were … worst outrage of all … women.
Eight of them — female Anglican priests, from Niagara Falls, St. Catharines, Guelph, Cayuga, Hamilton. They dressed in black vestments and red scarves, and at least one in stiletto heels.
Some even now will find it offensive that something called The Vagina Monologues was staged in a church, a sacred place, that priests said the “f” word and worse.

From the article:
“Some may say sex has no place in the church. But better The Vagina Monologues openly from the altar than abuse swept under the carpet.”
Those are my only choices?
This is but one more example of the reason why I left the Anglican Communion and found my home in the Roman Catholic Church. Others: admission of openly gay priests and bishops in unmarried relationships; the leading bishop of ECUSA, Katherine Jefforts-Schorri, who does not pray in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. There are so many more heretical paths down which this church wanders. “There will be false prophets among you…” God save us from this wretched body of death…our own and this “church”.
Why wouldn’t it be fitting for women who obviously refuse the admonition of scripture and seek ordination to propound not just completely inappropriate words, but concepts and rebellion in a sacred space reserved not for the socio-political agenda of the day, but for the worship of the Lord Jesus Christ? Tell me again…
