'A Church of England bishop who made "deeply offensive" comments on Facebook about the royal engagement has been suspended from his public duties.

He apologised for the remarks on Monday but has been asked by the Bishop of London to withdraw from public ministry "until further notice".[...] when the news of the engagement broke, the bishop wrote on the social networking site: "We need a party in Calais for all good republicans who can't stand the nauseating tosh that surrounds this event."'
