Bishop Robinson, the infamous practicing catamite of the New Hampshire Episcopal Church, has entered treatment for alcoholism. Interestingly he noted "he had been dealing with alcoholism for years and had considered it 'as a failure of will or discipline on my part, rather than a disease over which my particular body simply has no control, except to stop drinking altogether.'"
So the decision, and the choice, for immorality is always a choice, to openly engage in homosexuality was not a "failure of will or discipline" but a sin to flaunt in violation of Scripture and excuse away. But alcoholism, which many times DOES have genetic roots, was a "failure...[of] discipline on my part."
In such a wayward, even heretical and apostasizing Episcopal church, little surprise arises when his assistant, the Rev. Tim Rich notes, "We did not see it in any way impact his ministry in the diocese."
1 Timothy 3:2-3
"A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour...not given to wine..."
Bishop Robinson ought to step down from his position, having acknowledged a long struggle with alcohol. He should have removed himself from a position of leadership years ago. So it seems that Robinson is pending an entry into the Third Circle of Hell, reserved for the incontinent. That includes gluttony, or the excess of food or drink.
He might be more concerned however, with his proud and firmly established path of schism, lies, violence against nature (sodomy), and betrayal that places his eternal destination somewhere in Circle Seven, Eight, or even the deepest realm of Nine (with only Lucifer, Judas, Cassius, and Brutus as comrades).
