What's good for the royal goose is not good for other hens? Why don't more women in positions of authority help empower other women?

The Queen is an orthodox Anglican, always has been. I don't agree with her on this issue but she has a right to hold it without being bombarded with loaded statements like that.

The Queen is quite traditional, as is her new chaplain. Evidentally, they both consider the consecration of female bps. an unacceptable act of lese majesty. They are fully entitled to their positions.

This particular woman did nothing to obtain her position. She was born into it. She probably believes she, as head to the church, should not do anything to further upset people which the subject of women clergy has done. It is difficult to stop progress however. England will have female bishops eventually. I suspect the next monarch will wonder what the kerfuffle was all about. Likewise with equal rights for LGBTs. The Muslims will be more difficult to deal with but will probably eventually be subsumed into the culture and have the same future as the CoE.
The British press is far more radical than the corporately controlled US media that worries about profit more than news. They are royal stalkers who react to every possible bit of gossip and publish it.

Just because the first witnesses to the Lord's Resurrection were feminae, doesn't mean the Queen needs one as a chaplain. Everybody knows that all the great historical players have always been white, Euro males who speak (the Queen's--And, no sir, we don't mean "queen" as in the kind that some people might think; and just you take those thoughts about King James and what his sexual orientation was, elsewhere.) English. 
A conservative is someone who believes that firefighters, teachers, and police officers are overpaid.
"Wesley told the early Methodists to gain all they could and save all they could so that they could give all they could. It means that I consider my money to belong to God and I see myself as one of the hungry people who needs to get fed with God’s money. If I really have put all my trust in Jesus Christ as savior and Lord, then nothing I have is really my own anymore."
Republicans experience suffering the way they experience all their virtues, i.e. vicariously.
According to "just war" standards of Christian theology, if Saddam Hussein killed 30,000 Iraqis, and the Iraq War killed 120,00, how was the War "just"?

So the monarchy is stuck in the 19th, 18th.....14th (take your pick) century. What else is new? Does anyone over there really pay attention to what the Queen says anyway?

"We are to be Christ's hands and feet and heart and mind and we cannot do that if we assume God's role of judgment. The judge's job is filled. God alone is judge! Those who would be Saviors of the Church and the people in it are also reminded that the Savior's job has been filled. Jesus Christ filled it once for all. "- Bishop Rodney Michel

Hey, as long as they have male bishops for the parishes that don't want females to provide any sacraments for them it's all good. Everyone wins.

You know, though many see it as tradition to keep women out; it wasn't always so. This is what empirial religion did to the Christianity already there throughout Ireland and Brittain. There was a concerted effort to put the small minded's cap of misogony upon the heads of people; thereby restricting their capacity to truly think or be. Just call a woman a witch and you could remove her fom possitions in religion and medicine, so men could have professions. We talk about people forgetting the genocide against Jews, but the campaign against women still lasts, and the atrocities that made us into patriarchally limited thinkers is forgotten. It was against Christ's teachings and practices to exclude women. That makes it ant-Christ. What's worse going against a 1500 year tradition or ways against Christ? www.saintandrewscelticchurch.org/page24/... ...but then what do the invading and conquering Norman's care of the indigenous folk's religion? Elizabeth is their descendant.
