John Cleese doing a face palm, "Fawlty Towers".
Again from Chris Arnzen, with reference to this exchange.
Chris, you couldn't have missed the point more spectacularly. The issue between us was not whether we must choose between episcopal authority and the substance of the faith. It was not either/or, but both/and. My point is that Salter, Veith, et. al are not Anglicans *because they reject Anglican ministerial order*. Their chosen order is Presbyterian, not Episcopal.
If that doesn't clear it up for you, I don't know what will.

"You are no son of the English Reformation. You are a Romanist & need to repent for the very sake of your never-dying soul."
Zzzzz. To which I replied,
"I am neither a son of the Edwardine phase of the English Reformation nor a Romanist, but somehow that's too difficult a concept for you to wrap your head around. Pity."
Half-educated; half-baked.
