Made for Hollywood

Where do these liberal bishops get their wonderful names? If I get confirmed, can I choose a really cool new name? I’ve mentioned Bishop RRRMM aka the Rt. Rev. Robert M. Moody of Oklahoma.

Now the latest big fight over two parishes leaving the Ep******l diocese of Los Angeles and the ECUSA altogether centers around one Bishop J. Jon Bruno. It’s appropriate that he’s over Hollywood and is in a fight because that sounds like the sort of antagonist you have in a cheesy movie – Bishop Bruno. He just sounds like a burly bishop trying to crush anyone fleeing his power.

Or maybe he’s the Right Reverend J. J. That might be even better. I can see him wearing platform soles under purple vestments and a huge ‘fro under his miter. DYN-O-MITE!

Anyway. Fortunately the Archbishop of Uganda, who has taken on the two parishes, is more sensible and is standing his ground. He’s told Bishop Bruno to back off -- those parishes aren’t his anymore.

Pass the popcorn.
