His Grace has covered the rise of ‘anti-Anglicanism’ before (here, here and here).One perhaps ought not to be surprised that The Daily Telegraph seeks to undermine the Established Church, considering the intolerance and censoriousness of its proprietors.
And now we are told that the Church of England is ‘mean-spirited’ because some bishops are not amenable to sharing parish churches with those former-Anglicans who have joined Pope Benedict’s Ordinariate.
The allegation, we are told, is ‘on the lips of many Catholics’.
Mean-spirited?
This, from adherents of a church which refuses communion to Anglicans;
Informs us that we do not belong to a church ‘in the proper sense';
Denies the validity of Anglican ordination;
Treats the Archbishop of Canterbury with contempt;
Denies contraception to those who are live in dire poverty;
Is widely perceived to ‘hate women’;
And tells homosexuals that their thoughts are an ‘intrinsic moral evil’ and their desire an ‘objective disorder’.
The Church of England mean-spirited?
Pah.
