Here is the Diocese of New Westminster’s Bishop Melissa Skelton decked out in her pussy hat in preparation for the Women’s March, 2018.
Pussy hats are supposed to be pink but, in order, against all the odds, to maintain her dignity as a bishop, Skelton’s hat is purple.
For those who might be a little hazy of the purpose, meaning and etymology of pussy hats – sometimes referred to as pussyhats – we have, I’m afraid, to return to a regrettable remark made by Donald Trump during his presidential campaign, to wit:
You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful—I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything.
A bishop wearing such a hat does so not just to protest Trump’s outrageous rise to power but, also, should she be unfortunate enough to encounter the reprobate, to lure him into reaching for the hat rather than the part of the anatomy that was the subject of Monologues performed in the Diocese of Niagara’s cathedral by the lady clergy of the diocese. Here they are brazenly appearing without their pussy hats:

What does any of this have to do with the Gospel, you may be wondering. The Project of Pussyhat explains it:
There have been critiques about Pussyhat Project and whether Pussyhats should be included in some of the 2018 women’s marches. Some feel that the pink color of the hat excludes people of color from the project. Some feel that the hat is a literal symbol of female anatomy, promoting Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminism (TERF). Thank you for speaking up with your criticisms. We hear you.
The founding principles of Pussyhat Project are inclusivity, compassion, creativity, personal connection, and open dialogue, all to further women’s rights and human rights. It is an exciting and ongoing process, and these criticisms are part of it.
We can all agree that the last thing any self-respecting Anglican bishop would promote would be “Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminism” and the first, “inclusivity, compassion, creativity, personal connection, and open dialogue”. That, more or less, is what the Western Anglican gospel has degenerated into.
I’m waiting for the first pussy hat mitre to make an appearance.
This lady – I will not call her a bishop as true bishops are mandated to uphold the Gospel NOT the “god of political expediency” and she willingly follows in the footsteps of Michael Ingham and shows no desire or intent to rectify the damage and actions taken against true orthodox Christians. Wearing a purple shirt of a pussy hat or any other item of clothing does not make a bishop. A bishop is one that stands for the Gospel and the full authority of Scripture.
Just more proof that this woman is not a Priest as ordained by God. She is just another wanna-be left wing politician abusing the church for her own political agenda.
She is both sad and pathetic.
Gruesome.
It should come as no great surprise that this Canadian epicenter of Cultural Marxist sexual depravity and the Robinson ‘right’ to die would promote its global analogue:
that now includes teaching little school age children that anal sex is normal.

More appropriate apparel than a Clerical collar for these Baal Priestesses would be a Millstone……especially episcopal purple! As for the hats, just lengthen the horns a little.
