Rev. Ragsdale is Dean of the Episcopal Divinity School, a seminary of the Episcopal Church. She is a lesbian and in 2011 married another woman. In 2009 she declared that abortion is a blessing.
She was recently interviewed by Laura Ingraham and apparently, she still thinks abortion is a blessing. Having an abortion – even a late term abortion – is “health care” and is to be regretted only in the same sense as a heart operation is to be regretted.
Is this woman mad, evil, deluded, possessed or a combination of all four? I have no idea – you decide. One thing is certain: she should not be an Anglican priest, let alone Dean of a seminary.
Didn’t Germany’s Nazi Party of the 1930s and 40s use the same sort of excuse for wiping over 6 million people off the face of the earth? They claimed to have been involved in a grand plan for benefiting overall society. This Katherine Ragsdale is glibly suggesting the same sort of approach. She might at least drop the facade of Christianity that she hides behind. She has simply found a dupe organization, in the Anglican Church, that not only offers her a well-paid and “respectable” career, but that gives her a platform for her political agenda. The vipers have infiltrated the temple.
Nope. Don’t think I could stomach listening, I’ll take your word for it.

Excellent post. Bring it on sister.
One suggestion. The vipers have been welcomed into the temple and have been seated at the high table.
Yes…..I am more and more aware of that sad fact, Jim. It is as if they are hijacking our highest organizations and turning them upside down, while continuing to attract to themselves the credibility that had always gone hand-in-hand with just such organizations. In other words, many people will continue to give their nonsense credence, simply because it comes from a heretofore respectable and trustworthy source. It’s a very clever move by the likes of the Katherine Ragsdales of the world.
I have noticed that in the parish I attend (though how long that lasts, I won’t say), no one discusses religion. I find that very surprising. We all troop in for the service, and then there is a coffee hour or a concert or some other event afterwards, but God forbid that you should actually say anything religion-related once you pass out of the church proper, after the service. Your fellow congregants look at you oddly if you do. It is as if religion embarrasses them. So when and where, exactly, do these issues get discussed? I already find the parish much more like a secular community organization than a Christian church. Discussion of religious issues is dissuaded, because that might blow everybody’s cover.
Why do I get the distinct impression that if her parents had been of that opinion before she was born, it would definitely have been a blessing to the rest of us?
I often think the same thing of the abortion promoters — what if their grand ideals had been implemented by their own mothers?
Might I recommend this website:
http://sistersoflife.org/
This is the site of a Catholic order of sisters, founded in 1991 for the protection and enhancement of human life. I consider them genuine women of the cloth.
