Episcopal Diocese reject three canidates for pope

In San Francisco (of all places), the Episcopal Diocese of California rejected three openly homosexual candidates on Saturday. The diocese instead chose a man that is married and has two college-age daughters, and his name is Rt. Rev. Mark Handley. This hearing took place at the Grace Cathedral where all the Episcopalians from around the world gathered here. The Anglican Communion is represented by 77 million members in the United States. They are still reeling about the 2003 case when the first openly gay V. Gene Robinson was elected as bishop. Some observers say that California would not if a second gay bishop was elected so that the church can resolve it's view on homosexuals.
