African priests a popular export?

• Christian Fundamentalism

African clergy are becoming the handy tools of religious conservatism. Witness the African priests sent to the US to disrupt the Episcopal church because of its acceptance of gay marriage.

Plans to ease Britain's acute shortage of Roman Catholic priests by importing scores of African clergy are being discussed by senior bishops with the Pope's blessing.

The initiative to "re-evangelise the West" was raised at a Vatican-backed conference of 100 Catholic bishops and archbishops from Europe and Africa earlier this month.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about African priests a popular export?. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
