Attempted Coup to Unseat Bishop Fails

[Virtue Online] 16 Jan 2008--An attempted coup by Mrs. Jefferts Schori, David Booth Beers her attorney and liberal parish priest Harold Lewis to unseat Bishop Robert Duncan the Bishop of Pittsburgh failed recently when three canonically required senior bishops refused to sign inhibition papers that would have prevented him from functioning as a bishop.

The backroom attempts to fast track and inhibit the evangelical catholic bishop saying that he had abandoned the communion of the Episcopal Church had all the makings of Tammany Hall politics, but it all fell apart when bishops Leo Frade of Southeast Florida, Peter Lee of Virginia, and Don Wimberly of Texas refused to go along with the public lynching. (It is not known at this time how many of the three bishops did not give consent).
