It looks like the Bishop has been a bit naughty.
His blog, Bishop † Seán † Manchester, is intended to answer questions posed to him.
For example, a curious soul named "Ruben" asked whether or not shapeshifting was taught to people before the Flood, in correlation with certain passages in pseudographic Book of Enoch.
The Bishop's response appears in "Shapeshifting".
However, what doesn't appear, is the Bishop's sources of information.
The section dealing with the Book of Enoch has very clearly had portions cribbed from Wikipedia's "Book of Enoch" page and a non-Wikipedia article called "The Book of Henoch (Ethiopic)". The section on shapeshifting takes another, uncredited bite out of Wikipedia.
So, after all that, what is the Bishop's actual response? This:
Our friend, Ruben, also asked the Bishop's for his definition of a "heretic".
To respond to him, the Bishop opted for a bit of Internet Theology: portions are cribbed from Wikipedia's page on "Sedevacantism", the Catholic Enyclopedia's "Heresy" article and Duhaime.org's definition of "Heresy".
When Ruben asked for the Bishop's thoughts on "telikinesis" [sic], the Bishop responded with extracts cribbed from Wikipedia's "Psychokinesis" page.
The Bishop's actual thoughts were summed up thusly:

I could not opine as to whether shapeshifting was taught to men prior to the Flood. What I will say is that the phenomenon is not uncommon among demonsThe plagiarism doesn't stop there, either.

I retain an absolutely open mind on the question of telekinesis, having witnessed far more bizarre and unexplained phenomena than objects mysteriously moving or being moved by the power of someone's mind.Indeed.
