Now that's a real cannon of the Mass!

-from Dr. Toad's entry to the Ship Of Fools caption contest.

Good Evening Toads and Toadettes,

Looking for a little militans in your ecclesia? Here it is, boys and girls. No clown liturgy, fraudulent clergy or specious seminaries in the Diocese of St. Attila (Original Province). No, siree! And we have a coffee hour that will blow you away!

Glad you mentioned "specious seminaries," O Toad most wise. At this moment a large and otherwise respectable continuing jurisdiction (unnamed to avoid embarrassing the sensible in it) has a diocese preparing to "graduate" men from its pseudo-sem. As if it's not bad enough that said diocese in said jurisdiction has chosen to abandon Anglicanism's once high standard of education and not educate candidates for ministry but runs a read-for-it, blind-leading-the-blind setup (one cannot call it a seminary), but they go another step beyond belief and plan to issue fake "degrees," and even call them Master's.

Outrageous? You bet! This is the same outfit that a few months ago passed up the opportunity to make history and be the first (and only) continuing jurisdiction to have an accredited seminary program.

O Toad--we can plead say it ain't so--but sadly, it is. Maybe a little light shining on their plans will help them rethink.

Whoa there, pally! You mean that there is some fakery that has escaped the Toad's all-seeing eyes? It's in an "otherwise respectable continuing jurisdiction"? The Deuce, you say!

C'mon, bunky, spill it! Does this operation have a name or a website (don't they all)? The Toad will be on them faster than Lindsay Lohan can get into rehab! Rawk!*
