Sue - at 83

Rev Sue at 83 being arrested for holding up banners of a now proscribed organisation. Arrested under the 2000 Terrorism Act. Rightly so. Sorry to be so hard hearted, but one is tempted to say "Repent" like the TV version of Lord Cecil from the series called "Gunpowder." We had this problem only recently in the United States throughout the appalling 1990s, vicars and priests and nuns getting arrested for protesting outside Planned Parenthood clinics, aided and abetted by their legitimate religious superiors and aggravating bishops like cabals of Bishop Tims, calling for political action, and this against girls exercising their right to privacy - some bishops do not read their little green book. Both these nations have delicate Constitutions in place, and one of the stipulations from history, especially one Statute from Henry VIII of 1536, reminds the flocks below such clerics or supporting such clerics that such bishops and clerics are fathers in God, but that correspondingly, be a cause ever so pious or so religious or so ethical in se, even one which is dubious from Chelsea's point of view, no vicar or cleric of the spiritual power should be out there participating in protests of a political nature especially anything involving an exercise of temporal civil or political power. Unconstitutional. In the case of the Planned Parenthood clinic protests of the USA, grown adults tried to suffocate the right of girls to terminate their boyfriends's aggressor sperm inside them when said boyfriends had revealed themselves to be feckless and free beyond reason. Boyfriends paying - bishops silent - when it is the boyfriend that should be excommunicated in catholic thought and not the victim girls, period. Bishops very silent on this issue and very retarded on boys generally. Chelsea Clinton pointed out to the local bishop there in Deep South cheering on such manifest grave sin against victim girls and their renegade nuns and priests, that it was high time that he should read his Bible, since no such prerogatives were ever granted by a compassionate feeling Christ to apostles or prophets, none. If Christ were alive today, she explained, he would be working at one of these clinics and handing out pills to girls, victims of their feckless boyfriends and their dribbling and dreadful and dreary eyed plaint - "Oh I can pay for your termination." Bishops behaving like adolescent schoolboys on a train to Spain in the 1930s. It is feckless and abusive of the clerical state. So too the Rev Sue aged 83 cannot expect leniency from the much pressurised police when she abuses the comforts and protections of the clerical state in protests that are in se "unbecoming to a clerk in holy orders" (EJM 1963, 2000) - she is abusing her good office and the patience of the police in respecting that office, as long as it stays within the constitutional parameters of Magna Carta. The spiritual powers Acts of many Statutes requires some awareness of what a vicar or clericess can and cannot do. It is not enough to post leftwing memes.
