According to www.topix.com, Gene Robinson, the world's first openly gay bishop is complaining about being many Christians' number one enemy.

This week may mark the 40th anniversary of the legalisation of homosexuality in England and Wales, but attitudes in many ways still lag behind legislation.

Even on this side of the Atlantic, Robinson's public homosexuality has made him the most controversial figure in worldwide Anglicanism since Henry VIII split with Rome in 1538 and created the church.

His ordination as bishop four years ago sparked a global outrage. Here was a cleric not only living in a sexual relationship with another man, but proud of it.

Millions of Christians the world over are convinced - absolutely assured - that this man is the Antichrist.

They believe he is the Devil, sent to destroy the church from within. Welcome to the fan club of the Rt Rev V Gene Robinson, Primate of the American diocese of New Hampshire and the world's first openly gay bishop.

.It is yet possible - some would say probable - that Robinson's election will very soon unleash a chain of events blowing the global church apart, sustains www.topix.com.
