Auntie

Entering into secret alliances with civil governments just to score a few meagre points against Auntie Overseas though, is not the right way or the dignified christian way to conduct business in an ecumenical time-frame after a large ecumenical council. It is demeaning and beneath us as church to party with cheap politicians in their pied-a-terres and to dine out with men who are not qualified to be politicians, i.e. practitioners of political science, and especially to sup with these men of doxa or mere opinion in economic matters. If one must go out to dinner at the club in Piccadilly called Rules, one should sup with such men with a very very very very long spoon. These men are rich - the treasuries of the churches are the poor. V would not forgive us all, in our spiritual lordship chambers in the over-worn, over-done, over decorated Palaces of Parliamentaria. All is flux in human politics, why all this diving over the precipices of opinion or even bending over backwards to sign up to years of general abuse and piece-meal persecution in the law courts of dear old Auntie and her brave missioners. Preachers should be supported by any christian state, not constantly stitched up by local units of the FBI. One day Fr Justin will realise that had we been kind and sweet to Auntie Overseas, she could have helped us out, by revealing her files on such evil men, dipping into the exchequer, especially as they feist about and bustle around abroad in the global church jurisdictions. So come on everybody down below Fr Justin, it is time to put the old thinking caps on, and withdraw from feeding and faxing local police stations on behalf of MPs who are simply insanely jealous about other men and women carrying more spiritual, or just even more democratic weight than they. Opinion.
