Comments on: Are bishops above the law? http://www.thurible.net/20091114/are-bishops-above-the-law/ The Blog of the Provost of St Mary's Cathedral, Glasgow Mon, 06 Feb 2012 21:21:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: kelvin http://www.thurible.net/20091114/are-bishops-above-the-law/#comment-9335 kelvin Sat, 14 Nov 2009 18:51:34 +0000 http://www.thurible.net/?p=6513#comment-9335 I'd like to think that everyone involved would prefer this to be sorted out outside the courts. It is unseemly for the bishops to be behaving in this way and I think that at least some of them know that. I also know that they know that behaving in an unseemly way is even worse than behaving illegally in our church. I think it is quite likely that our bishops know how foolish it would be to pursue a policy which would allow a situation to develop where bishops are reminded repeatedly during their episcopacy that their election was irregular.

We're a few weeks behind you on the same road, here in A&TI. So – when is someone going to challenge this in a court of law? We’re a few weeks behind you on the same road, here in A&TI.
