October 20th<\/sup> was the date of one of the strangest ordinations ever to have taken place in the Diocese of Niagara.<\/p>\n

When St. Hilda\u2019s left the diocese to join ANiC, Michael Coren was very supportive. Here are a few snippets from his emails at the time:<\/p>\n

\u201cYou’re doing great work and I know that you’ll be okay in the end.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGlory!!!!!!!!!\u201d (after we won our first court case)<\/p>\n

\u201cUnbelievable! They are such self-caricatures. I’ll use it on TV and perhaps radio.\u201d (referring to some of the antics of the Diocese of Niagara)<\/p>\n

\u201cAll four of us on TV tonight supported you – including Sid Ryan and another former NDP candidate. LeDrew too – former Liberal president. We’re getting somewhere. Again, let me know what I can ever do.\u201d (after St. Hilda\u2019s was sued by the Diocese of Niagara)<\/p>\n

\u201cI was in Aylseford two weeks ago and met with some liberal Anglicans. My golly they’re a stupid, nasty lot.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

All that was from 2008. Now, in 2019 he is standing grinning in the midst of a bunch of liberal Anglicans, having just been ordained<\/a> by the bishop of a diocese full of clerics who are \u201cself-caricatures\u201d.<\/p>\n

What is the explanation? Has Coren embarked on a fifth column mission designed to bring down the diocese from the inside? Has he completely lost his marbles? Has the\u00a0 the real Coren been taken over by an alien pod?<\/p>\n

Perhaps he just has a thing for plump female bishops.<\/p>\n
