Even the GAA and the Free Masons were offended that they weren't told about the "agenda" of the service.<br /><br />The Orange Order is not institutionally homophobic, if you read the comments from the Orangeman who were to attend they said that it was not an issue that needed to be discussed in the OO.<br /><br />"Unity in essentials, liberty in non essentials".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-989890166047940960.post-65479717006255562952009-05-11T21:05:00.000+01:002009-05-11T21:05:00.000+01:00Well Anonymous - From Waterford I see - I too am o...Well Anonymous - From Waterford I see - I too am often baffled but then that's part of being an Anglican ;-)Stephen Neillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15130425037498473898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-989890166047940960.post-38657817210003024242009-05-11T20:54:00.000+01:002009-05-11T20:54:00.000+01:00Does Anglicanism stand for anything anymore?

I think your religion needs to go back to the basics of the Ten Commandments if it is to be taken seriously.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-989890166047940960.post-60184570070925662542009-05-09T17:38:00.000+01:002009-05-09T17:38:00.000+01:00I think the whole episode is rather sad.

I love the way the orange order has such high principals when it comes to human sexuality issues. But if you look at the conduct of some orange men and their followers on that great Christian festival “July 12th”. Drunkenness, fowl language, sectarianism - it’s all there. Very Christian I’m sure !Colin, Belfastnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-989890166047940960.post-34245809571664761952009-05-03T22:36:00.000+01:002009-05-03T22:36:00.000+01:00Interesting that the Orange Order, itself a masoni...Interesting that the Orange Order, itself a masonic lodge, should be so opposed to homsexuality. Ater all, when you are part of an apron wearing, all men's club it does smack a little of the pot, the kettle and the Royal Black Preceptory.C'est La Craichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09871388628499445473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-989890166047940960.post-68169633304487806522009-05-01T23:30:00.000+01:002009-05-01T23:30:00.000+01:00A lot of these homophobes are insecure in their ow...A lot of these homophobes are insecure in their own sexuality.<br /><br />This is a King Canute moment.
