Absconding With Dignity

The Anglican Church seems to have hit a queer fork in the road; two priests in the Anglican church were married -in a same sex marriage, mind you- using the traditional liturgy, which, in turn, has created a rift with the more conservative mind-set within the church. Apparently, the Archbishop had stated, no more than three years ago, that the sexual teaching provided by the church would maintain the more traditional values of the bygone eras, and that those who act in opposition to these teachings would be "disciplined." (Sounds sexy.) And, since these sexual trespassers were not roundly spanked, quite a few of these vicars have their knickers stuffed far up their cracks with rage.
What bothers me (just one of the many things, I suppose) is this statement:
Anglicans in Africa and Asia are infuriated enough with the liberal North American churches, where openly homosexual clergy and church blessings for same-sex couples are now common. But the news two male priests used a traditional wedding liturgy, involving exchange of rings and vows, in a Church of England church could push them to the edge.
I'm not sure that those in Africa and Asia (two large geographical areas that are having a significant amount of civil unrest) should be overly concerned with two priests getting hitched. Seems to this uneducated jackass that they would have bigger fish to fry. (Wait, is it just the Catholics that like fish?) Eh, let these priests engage in furious dry-humping with all the ceremony they want and worry about something that actually matters.
Now, why is this bad for Archbishop Rowan Williams? Seems to the public that this little non-secular sexual indiscretion could split the Anglican Church like two ass cheeks, letting the world see the blown-out rectum that is the tricky grey-area of religious sexual teachings.
Wait a minute, who doesn't want to see that?
