The Church of England will have women bishops and those who hold to the catholic faith and practice will have to lump it.
Black, white, gay, lesbian, male, female... anyone can be a priest or a bishop in western Anglicanism if they bow to the circus master, and that isn't Jesus Christ.
“When one is required to preside over the Church, and be entrusted with the care of so many souls, the whole female sex must retire before the magnitude of the task, and the majority of men also.” – St. John Chrysostom
“The divine law indeed has excluded women from this ministry, but they endeavour to thrust themselves into it; and since they can effect nothing of themselves, they do all through the agency of others.” – St. John Chrysostom

The Episcopal Church pushed women to be priests as part of the "diversity" agenda to break the back of catholic orders. Once that was done, there remained no boundaries as to who could be ordained. TEC ordained a Muslim women (who was later defrocked) and two Wiccans in Philadelphia area, (also later defrocked). As far as I know, no partnered homosexuals have been defrocked. So we see what stands behind TEC's inclusivity.
