Church of Canada Votes Down Gay Marriage then Reveres Vote


TORONTO (AP) -- A day after the Anglican Church of Canada narrowly voted not to authorize gay unions, questions about the integrity of the voting process emerged Tuesday, leading to a reversal of the result with the church approving the measure.

More than 200 delegates attending the six-day General Synod 2016 narrowly rejected the resolution Monday night after hearing from more than 60 speakers, most of them in favor of gay marriage.

If they "revered" the vote so much, why did they then reverse it?

Democracy itself is sacrifical upon the altar of abomination. Liberalism in a nutshell. At least the liars are exposing themselves as such.
