The superbishops plan was unveiled amid allegations that senior conservative bishops in the CofE have held a meeting at the Vatican to discuss 'closer ties' with the Roman Catholic Church.


"Allegations?" Jeez - they're already defecting as entire parishes.

Parishes? A huge hunk of Anglicanism is in talks with a friend in Rome. (clicketh)

He is very powerful, and commands a crack legion.

What did you expect from a church founded because some king wanted to be able to get a divorce?

National religion. That's almost as gay as having a royal family.

Until they can pray faster than a speeding bullet, or leap tall popehats in a single bound, these 'super' Bishops are unworthy of the title.

So, they aren't confined to diagonal moves or what?

They already have superbishops, you just have to know how to work the fianchetto.

/anyone?

Women bishops? Next they'll want the right to vote.

This. I think all religion is goofy, but I especially never understood how anyone could take the Church of England seriously.

CHESS GEEK SIMULPOST!

I hate it when I get beat by the earliest pooster.

Superbishops? Do they come with capes and secret identities? I like the idea of instead of a Bat phone, they have a Bishop phone that plays Handel's "Messiah" when it rings in an emergency.

I can't get past this part:



Plans: The Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams (second left) and the Archbishop of York Dr John Sentamu (third right)...

The Archbishop of Canterbury and the Archbishop of York are the same guy?

Don't say the baby's name. Don't say the baby's name!

Pics of the superbishop's tattoo on the back of his neck or it didn't happen.

Four people in the picture. "Second from left and third from right." Umm....Seems to me that's the same person. Somebody got some 'splainin' to do.

ninjakirby:Until they can pray faster than a speeding bullet, or leap tall popehats in a single bound, these 'super' Bishops are unworthy of the title.

I've heard they shiat dispensations, though...

So women can become bishops, but only men can become Superbishops, so really, nothing's going to change.

And Superbishops? That sounds about as retarded as the Democratic party's Super Delegates.

Cake please

Everytime I read a story regarding religion I expect to see references to unicorns and wizards.

Haven't we moved on from this hocus pocus crud yet, fellow humans? Jebus!

Can't you see between the (third left) and (fourth left) people in the foreground? There's the woman bishop way in the background. I think she's on her way to the kitchen.

They get superpolished!

daneurysm:So, they aren't confined to diagonal moves or what?

The king stay the king.

I guess the Pope felt like polishing a different type of Bishop.

It's good to be the king.

IRON MY COLLAR !!1!

At the peremtory request of a large majority of the citizens of these United States, I, thesubliminalman, formerly of Algoa Bay, Cape of Good Hope, and now for the past nineteen years and ten months of Dayton, Ohio, declare and proclaim myself Super Pope 1., and in virtue of the authority thereby in me vested, do hereby order and direct the representatives of the different States of the Union to assemble in the Musical Hall of this city on the 1st day of February next, then and there to make such alterations in the existing laws of the Union as may ameliorate the evils under which the country is laboring, and thereby cause confidence to exist, both at home and abroad, in our stability and integrity.

There it's just that easy!

No Superdevil pics? Unimpressed.

Who takes the Church of England seriousl, srsly?

Just a dying breed of insecure men gasping out their last breaths of control over something they never understood in the first place.

Cockpunches all around, says me.

Great Janitor: RTFA.

The only power the "superbishops" have is to enforce the rights of the female bishops. Female superbishops wouldn't be as effective in this role. It would be just like "some woman is telling me that I have to listen to this other woman."

And the Democratic Super Delegates have no power that a regular delegate doesn't have.

WHEREAS, it is necessary for our Peace, Prosperity and Happiness, as also to the National Advancement of the people of the United States, that they should dissolve the Republican form of government and establish in its stead an Absolute Monarchy;
NOW, THEREFORE, WE, Super Pope I, by the Grace of God Emperor of the Thirty-three states and the multitude of Territories of the United States of America, do hereby dissolve the Republic of the United States, and it is hereby dissolved;
And all laws made from and after this date, either by the National Congress or any State Legislature, shall be null and of no effect.
All Super Bishops, and all other persons in authority, shall maintain order by enforcing the heretofore existing laws and regulations until the necessary alterations can be effected.
Given under our hand and seal, at Headquarters, Dayton, Ohio, this 6th day of July, 2008

You people are being awfully insulting to these men of the cloth.
You shouldn't be bashing the bishop!

//it makes baby Jeebus cry.

WFern:I especially never understood how anyone could take the Church of England seriously.

Who knows?

They all look like comic bood figures, with their capes, scepters, and whatnot already.

Hey, the token black Super Bishop is holding a spear!

/what?
//he is

THE BISHOP!

Faster than a speeding baptism, more powerful than a liturgy, able to leap tall bibles in a single bound, it's SUPERBISHOP! Yes, it's Superbishop, strange visitor from another denomination, with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal clergy! Superbishop, who can change the course of mighty arguments, bend dogma with his bare hands, and who, disguised as Clark Kent, mild-mannered clergymen for a major metropolitan diocese, fights a never-ending battle for truth, justice and the Anglican way!

Look, up in the sky!

It's a bird!

It's a plane!

It's SUPERBISHOP!

Great Janitor:So women can become bishops, but only men can become Superbishops, so really, nothing's going to change.

And Superbishops? That sounds about as retarded as the Democratic party's Super Delegates.

Well, if they let women become superbishops, then they will have to create the ultrabishop. Why do they need superbishops anyway? Isn't that what an archbishop is for?

I'm polishing my bishop and getting a kick out of this....

Too bad the early Christians didn't do such a grand job of writing women out of the Bible. Instead we now have religion of misogynist pigs. Stupid Christians.

Only supermen can be Super Popes and that's way cooler than Super Bishops.

Can you choke a superbishop?

Don't move, Devious!

Superbishops would be a cool name for a band. Used to know of a local one called The Hypnotic Popes.

I know. Any way you look at it, the two describe the same individual. I refuse to read the rest of the article until this is clarified.
