There is nothing new under the sun. The dispute in San Joaquin has its precursor in the Colenso affair in South Africa in the 1860’s.
The caption reads:
The Zulu Bride
Bishop Tait: “Stay! — I protest!–”
Bishop Gray: “Upon what grounds, my Lord?”
Bishop Tait: “Bigamy! she’s married already.”
Dr. Gray, Bishop of Cape Town, was proceeding to consecrate the Rev. Mr. Macrorie as Bishop of Natal, with the avowed purposed of expelling Dr. Colenso the existing Bishop of that see, from the ministration of his holy office, when the Bishop of London, (Dr. Tait) published a strong letter, interposing, and the scheme was frustrated.–February 1868 (Punch)
