"Plus" vs. "Plus Plus"

Pet peeve time: can we get rid of the two "pluses" for the primates (++Rowan Williams) and just stick with with the one "+" that we use for bishops. In the end of the day, there are really only three orders, not a fourth one called "Primates." And beyond that it just looks silly.

I mean, you don't see +++BXVI, do you?

I thought not.

Metaphor Alert!

Well, this certainly will be more fun than all those obscure references to Orthodox monks made out of context, feints toward Rumi, and all manner of obfuscation we have come to love from +Frank. It looks like we are in for a veritable MEGA-METAPHOR SMACK-DOWN during the primacy of +KJS!

Already we have had loads of fun with a minor medieval metaphor ripped from its context to shock the hoi polloi: “Jesus, our Mother.” And then it appears that T(p)ECusa is conjoined twins! With a little imagination we can now have loads of fun mixing and matching primatial metaphors at clergy gatherings and vestry retreats!

To start out, let me offer “Jesus our Mother has given birth to conjoined twins.”

Sorry, couldn’t help myself.
