A laughable interview by the Archibishop of Canterbury in the Telegraph today. He complains;-

"The trouble with a lot of government initiatives about faith is that they assume it is a problem, it's an eccentricity, it's practised by oddities, foreigners and minorities. The effect is to de-normalise faith, to intensify the perception that faith is not part of our bloodstream."

this after the Labour Party has bent over backwards to accomodate faith groups having entirely separate state funded schools with different curricula to suit the superstition du jour. Hate crimes legislation is wrecked to accomodate the religious need to express hatred for people who are born either female, gay or transgendered.

they have umpty members of the second legislative chamber of the Houses of Parliament by right, they are listened to for no other reason than they hear voices in their head.

And still they complain !!! Will no one rid us of these turbulent priests ??

Only if you are called Henry Deux.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."

Yea, if he'd said "Good, well done boys" instead of going on pennance, things'd be real different.

England could profitably looked to France for instruction on dealing with the Papacy. Capture 'em. Knock 'em over. Force a Concordat on 'em. In general, Fuck 'em. One of the things I liked best about the French Monarch. Don't take any crap from the Pope. Course it helps to be within marching distance of Rome.
