The Archbishop of York, Dr. John Sentamu, has said he will not lay hands on a conservative bishop after laying hands on a female bishop.
'This is not about taint.' said Dr. Sentamu.
Traditionalist non-marrying bishop to be, Revd. Billy Roth, said 'It is against my beliefs that women be made bishops. Dr. Sentamu may still have bits of woman on him when he touches me, so I'm glad he won't be. I've heard woman juice is indelible.'
Revd. Roth has been outspoken before about the religious taint. He had previously been quoted as saying 'The laying on of hands can taint a person in an ungodly way. Unless it is the hands of boys. I find that very.....spiritual.'
