We can afford to yawn, because we know truth, but I think C.S. Lewis' argument for the need for apologetics was that educated believers have a duty to the uneducated and to the unsaved, and therefore must stand up in defense of it.
Happily, in this case, we probably don't need to do much, because the Bishop is in herself a recapitulation of everything which normal people are revolted by: the conviction of moral superiority, the smugness which enables nattering. She's the ultimate Karen.
Even the quiet, semi - neurasthenic delivery works against her. If she had thundered the way the late, forgotten Molly Yard was wont to do, she might have convinced many that she was so impassioned, she just could not help herself.
She's every man's dread.
Politically, it's only a win for Trump. Spiritually, it's a godsend in that her preposterousness serves as an example of why St Paul forbade women to become pastors.
