Clergy could face heresy charges in new tribunals
Another, Peter Bruinvels, a Church Commissioner, said: "At the moment it is impossible to reach a consensus, with traditionalists and liberals evenly split as to what really constitutes an offence and how serious it is. "For example, some of us believe that the wearing of vestments during communion services is non-negotiable, but others totally disagree."....In the 16th century, scores of Christians were burnt at the stake for heresy. One of the most prominent was Thomas Cranmer, the Archbishop of Canterbury from 1533 who was condemned under Mary Tudor and burnt at Oxford in 1556.
So basically they're saying you'll get flamed if you show up to a party wearing the wrong clothes, reading the wrong books and saying the wrong things?
How gay.
