Bishop rips governor over parole reversal
http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2005/03/29/MNGSNC03LQ1.DTL

Convicted murderer James Tramel's ordination as an Episcopal deacon wasn't enough to persuade Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to approve his release on parole last week, prompting a fiery Easter sermon from Episcopal Bishop William Swing.

"Governors of California are good at executions,'' Swing told the 11 a.m. service at San Francisco's Grace Cathedral. "Governors of California are 90- pound moral weaklings when it comes to restoration of human beings.''


You go Your Holiness!!!

1. not to split hairs, but
Your Holiness is reserved for the Pope. Your Excellency is for bishops. Swing is most excellent.
