Bob, This has nothing to do with our brothers in the Episcopal Church.  It has to do with the spirit of the Faithful and the Holy Spirit guiding non clerical catholics.  Obviously many Bishops are ignoring Her more loving views on life and death.  These guidelines or rules are indeed horrible.  We must bury our dead gay and lesbian humans as we must bury dead bishops who eschewed clerical rape.  The Bishops in the US are way out of line and they would do much better if they would understand that the Holy Spirit Guides all of us.  When the Bishops pretend that only they have access to Her, They indeed are ignoring the whispers of our Great God.  It has become time for the laity to speak out again and again against such poor uncharitable behavior that is not at all Christ like by our Episcopal leaders.  Every one of us do things that our wrong, the Bishops are quick to jump on what they view as wrong in others but do nothing about their own faults.   To Shame!!
