Just amazing what happens to some brains when the Mitre goes on. I knew John Baurschmidt when he was rector of Christ Church in Covington, LA. Never had a clue he would be the “sue ‘em” type bishop for the PB. So sad. December 24, 10:16 am | [comment link] |

Huh? Non sequitur, Bishop. The baby Jesus is crying.
