If you were joining in the campaign to brand serious Christianity "a black thing" which only existed in Britain as a product of post-War immigration, and if you were taking the line of the National Secular Society ("Openly Promoting Eugenic Infanticide Since 1988") that African Pentecostals should be prevented from entering Britain solely and simply because they were Pentecostals, just as Polish Catholics should be prevented from entering Britain solely and simply because they were Catholics, then could you seriously expect to be regarded as the arbiter of Catholic orthodoxy in Britain, or at least in England? Well, could you?
But then, if you were an economic neoliberal, and a geopolitical neoconservative who would happily see every armed force used to clear Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Nazareth of their Christian populations, not to mention a separatist and politicised practitioner of genitally active homosexuality, then could you seriously expect to be regarded as the arbiter of Catholic orthodoxy in Britain, or at least in England? Well, could you?

We are once again witness to that intoxicating mixture of the Catholic orthodox & homosexuality as expressed in the union of the two, both in the resurgent Old Rite scene, & in the personal ordinariate. I have been researching the ordinariate since David educated me about this subject a few days ago. Perhaps David's correspondent Miner's Boy will be good enough to share any knowledge of this intriguing matter that he may have.
ReplyDeleteWith further prayers for the reconciliation of David with his old friend & fellow Catholic bachelor, Damian Thompson.
Funny how you could so much of it at both extremes. The solution is David's Vatican II chapter in Essays Radical and Orthodox. A must read.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the heat on this hateful creature. Dismissed as editor in chief of the Herald, his directorship there could be got rid of if we made enough of an effort. Telegraph Blogs is now a complete embarrassment to the paper, we could easily get rid of him from that, too. You are our undisputed leader, everybody hates him but nobody else hates quite as much as you do. We all say we wouldn't call an ambulance if we saw him having a heart attack or being hit by a bus, but only you would hope to have a glass of something expensive in one hand and a fine cigar in the other while you watched him die.
