Everyone has known for years and years that Jewish “Archbishop” Justin Welby is a pederast involved in a vast conspiracy to sodomize young boys.

There was nothing surprising about that. People should have known this was happening as soon as they saw his face.

It is frankly a bit surprising that he finally got charged over this. Usually, these people just keep getting away with it.

AP:

Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, the head of the Church of England and spiritual leader of the worldwide Anglican Communion, resigned Tuesday amid the fallout from a long-running sexual abuse scandal.

Welby stepped down after an independent investigation found that he had failed to inform police about serial physical and sexual abuse by a volunteer at Christian summer camps as soon as he became aware of it.

Here are the answers to some questions about the Church of England, Welby’s decision and its global significance.

What is the Church of England?

The Church of England, also known as the Anglican Church, is a Christian denomination and the official church of England. It was created in the 16th century when the English church broke away from the Roman Catholic Church.

The church is part of the global Anglican Communion, a family of churches that has over 85 million members in more than 165 countries. Britain’s monarch is the supreme governor of the Church of England and has the power to appoint bishops and other church leaders.

What is the Archbishop of Canterbury?

The Archbishop of Canterbury is the head of the Church of England and is traditionally seen as the spiritual leader of the Anglican Communion. Each of the 46 churches that comprise the Anglican Communion has its own primate, but the Archbishop of Canterbury is considered first among equals.

…

Why did Welby resign?

An independent investigation last week released its long-awaited report into the late John Smyth, who sexually, psychologically and physically abused more than 100 boys and young men at Christian summer camps in the United Kingdom, Zimbabwe and South Africa over five decades.

The 251-page report concluded that Welby failed to report Smyth to authorities when he was informed of the abuse in August 2013, soon after he became Archbishop of Canterbury. Had he done so, Smyth could have been stopped sooner and many of his victims wouldn’t have been abused, the report found.

Welby initially refused to resign, saying he was wrongly informed that police had already been notified and he shouldn’t do anything to interfere with their investigation. But his position became untenable after a growing number of church leaders and victims criticized him for failing to take responsibility for the scandal.

Although you don’t have to be Jewish to be a homosexual pederast, it helps.

Why was a Jew the head of the Church of England?

Didn’t anyone think that was strange?

Remember Archbishop Justin Welby, British Christian leader, refused to meet Pastor Isaac Munther, Palestinian Christian leader because Pastor Munther had met with British Labour Party leader, Jeremy Corbyn

CANTERBURY CATHEDRAL TO HOST 90’s RAVE MOCKING GOD IN HIS OWN HOUSE!

A Christian congregation are set to protest against two boozy silent discos which are planned to take place in the Canterbury Cathedral.

The angry Anglicans are calling for the events on Thursday and Friday… pic.twitter.com/VGqrlSZQ7w

It’s something you would expect to happen.

New York Post:

Incensed Christians are protesting a sold-out silent disco at Canterbury Cathedral this week because they don’t want a “rave to Eminem in God’s house,” SWNS reports.

The famed cathedral, southeast of London, is set to welcome about 750 people each on Thursday and Friday nights for the ’90s-themed event.

Headphone-wearing attendees will bop along to music from Britney Spears, TLC, Eminem, and the Spice Girls while enjoying alcohol as the landmark’s historic Nave is transformed into a dance floor.

Tickets were $31 — with VIP options up for grabs at $40 — before they sold out.

“Party positive vibes for a feel-good experience” are promised — but some conservative Christians are vehemently against the two-day gathering.

Several have raised concerns with the dean of Canterbury, the Very Reverend Dr. David Monteith, but were dismayed to learn that the show will go on.

“While respectful of our right to protest, the Dean was dismissive of our petition, stating that we were an extreme minority — for not wanting an alcohol-fueled rave to the music of Eminem in God’s house,” said Dr. Cajetan Skowronski, who is leading the protest.

“Dr. Monteith was convinced — with no evidence — that the majority of Christians would support this disco, and our petition and reasoned arguments could not change his mind,” Skowronski continued.

Skowronski insists that no other religion would consider using a sacred building in this way and that the event will lead people to believe Christians don’t “take their faith seriously.”

Well. That sure is true.

Christianity has become a complete joke. The Pope promotes gay anal activities.

It’s vulgar beyond comprehension to how a rave in a church, but it is actually within comprehension now, when you see how little Christians care for their own religion.

Why is this tolerated?

Why is it even tolerated for the Catholic Church to be cooperating with the Anglican Church on any level at all, let alone coming together to condemn normal people for not wanting to have their country destroyed by an invading army?

The Journal:

An appeal for calm has been made by the Catholic and the Church of Ireland bishops of the diocese of Killaloe following protests in Roscrea, Co Tipperary.

The bishops also used their joint statement to call for communities to “go the extra mile” to accommodate those seeking asylum.

On Monday, a crowd of up to 300 people gathered to protest the Racket Hall Hotel in Roscrea hotel being used to house international protection applicants.

Roscrea is in the diocese of Killaloe and in a statement today, the Catholic bishop Fintan Monahan and Church of Ireland bishop Michael Burrow appealed for calm.

Their joint statement remarked that “it has been disturbing and sad to see some of the strong protests against the arrival of people seeking emergency accommodation in Roscrea”.

While the statement said there are “some genuine concerns regarding resources for the new residents and for the amenities and services in the area”, both men called for a “peaceful approach to the issues involved”.

They also noted “concerns” at long-term effects that protests could have on young children and families who are now in the facility.

The bishops also appealed for the public to “keep in mind the bigger picture and the emergency situation that presents itself”.

“Many of the people coming to our shores are coming from very stressful situations and are in dire need of refuge and shelter.

“They deserve whatever level of help can possibly be offered and provided, even if it involves some sacrifice or inconvenience, going the extra mile, so to speak.”

…

The statement adds: “We Irish, more than most, know what it is like to be a stranger in a foreign land.

“We asked for people to be as open as possible to make sacrifices, despite some inconveniences that might arise in this extraordinary situation we find ourselves in during these troubled times.”

This is sick.

Remind me again – why is physiognomy a “pseudoscience?”

In America, they say that we have to have immigrants forced on us because the Irish came here as immigrants. Meanwhile, in Ireland, the Irish have to have immigrants forced on them… because Irish emigrated to America.

They just use any excuse to bury us.

The idea that Christian churches are promoting the idea that the society should become non-Christian is beyond the pale. How does it make sense, unless it is a conspiracy? Why would institutions want to lose power? No institution has ever wanted to lose power.

They should be divided over which side of the roof to throw them off of, maybe.

AP:

Catholics around the world are sharply divided by the Vatican’s recent declaration giving priests more leeway to bless same-sex couples. Supporters of LGBTQ inclusion welcome the move; some conservative bishops assail the new policy as a betrayal of the church’s condemnation of sexual relations between gay or lesbian partners.

Strikingly, the flare-up of debate in Catholic ranks coincides with developments in two other international Christian denominations — the global Anglican Communion and the United Methodist Church — that are fracturing over differences in LGBTQ-related policies.

Taken together, it’s a dramatic illustration of how – in a religion that stresses God’s love for humanity – divisions over marriage, sexuality, and inclusion of gays and lesbians are proving insurmountable for the foreseeable future in many sectors of Christianity.

Ryan Burge, a political science professor at Eastern Illinois University and pastor of an American Baptist church, says it’s become increasingly difficult for Christian denominations to fully accommodate clergy and congregations with opposing views on same-sex relationships, particularly as such marriages have become legal in much of Europe and the Western Hemisphere.

“A lot of denominations are in the position where you have to make a decision — you can’t be wishy-washy anymore,” said Burge, a specialist in religious demographics. “That’s the tension they’re facing: how to keep older conservatives in the fold while attracting younger people.”

For global denominations — notably Catholics, Anglicans and United Methodists — Burge sees another source of tension: Some of their biggest growth in recent decades has been in socially conservative African countries where same-sex relationships are taboo.

“African bishops have this ammunition,” Burge said. “They say to the West, ‘We’re the ones growing. You have the money, we have the numbers.’”

Among Christian denominations, the Anglican Communion is second only to the Catholic Church in geographic spread. Divisions over marriage, sexuality and LGBTQ inclusion have roiled the communion for many years, and they widened Dec. 17, when Church of England priests offered officially sanctioned blessings of same-sex partnerships for the first time.

The Church of England’s ban on church weddings for gay couples remains, but the decision to allow blessings has infuriated several conservative Anglican bishops from Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Pacific.

Caught in the middle is the archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby — the top bishop of the Church of England and ceremonial leader of the Anglican Communion.

Welby says he won’t personally bless same-sex couples because it’s his job to unify the world’s 85 million Anglicans. That hasn’t appeased some conservative bishops, who say they no longer recognize Welby as their leader.

Justin Welby

A slow-motion breakup is underway in the United Methodist Church. A few years ago, it was the third-largest denomination in the United States, but a quarter of U.S. congregations have recently received permission to leave over disputes involving LGBTQ-related policies.

Of the more than 7,650 departing churches, most are conservative-leaning congregations responding to what they see as a failure to enforce bans on same-sex marriage and the ordaining of openly LGBTQ people.

There’s no firm estimate of how many members are leaving, as some who belong to departing congregations are joining other UMC churches. But UMC officials are preparing to cut denominational agencies’ budgets in anticipation of lower revenues from church offerings.

United Methodist rules forbid same-sex marriage rites and the ordination of “self-avowed practicing homosexuals,” but progressive Methodist churches in the U.S. have increasingly defied these rules.

Presaging the UMC schism, several other mainline Protestant denominations over the past two decades endured splits resulting from irreconcilable differences between supporters and opponents of LGBTQ inclusion. For example, after the Episcopal Church ordained an openly gay bishop in 2003, some dioceses and conservatives formed the Anglican Church in North America.

Similar liberal/conservative differences prompted hundreds of congregations to leave the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) after they embraced LGBTQ-inclusive policies.

Some conservative denominations — such as the Southern Baptist Convention and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — have adhered firmly to policies that reject recognition of same-sex relationships and ordination of openly LGBTQ people. These policies have prompted departures, but no major schism.

I would tell the Catholics that support this Pope and his anal agenda: you’re going to have to explain it to God.

One of the first couples were a couple of old dykes who are also both “priests”

The Anglican Church is an absolute circus sideshow at this point.

Unfortunately, the Catholic Church in Germany is more or less the same thing.

AP:

Church of England priests offered officially sanctioned blessings of same-sex partnerships for the first time on Sunday, though a ban on church weddings for gay couples remains in place amid deep divisions within global Anglicanism over marriage and sexuality.

In one of the first ceremonies, the Rev. Catherine Bond and the Rev. Jane Pearce had their union blessed at St John the Baptist church, in Felixstowe, eastern England, where both are associate priests.

The couple knelt in front of Canon Andrew Dotchin, who held their heads as he gave “thanks for Catherine and Jane, to the love and friendship they share, and their commitment to one another as they come before you on this day.”

The church’s national assembly voted in February to allow clergy to bless the unions of same-sex couples who have had civil weddings or partnerships. The words used for the blessings, known as prayers of love and faith, were approved by the church’s House of Bishops on Tuesday and used for the first time on Sunday.

The compromise was struck following five years of discussions about the church’s position on sexuality. Church leaders offered an apology for the church’s failure to welcome LGBTQ people, but also endorsed the doctrine that marriage is the union of one man and one woman. Clergy won’t be required to perform same-sex blessings if they disagree with them.

The blessings can be used in regular church services. The church’s governing body has also drawn up a plan for separate “services of prayer and dedication” for same-sex couples that would resemble weddings, but it has not yet been formally approved.

…

Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby has said he won’t personally bless any same-sex couples because it’s his job to unify the world’s 85 million Anglicans. Welby is the spiritual leader of both the Church of England and the global Anglican Communion of which it is a member.

Wasn’t the point of the Protestant revolution that they didn’t want to acknowledge the authority of the Pope?

This Welby guy is worse than even Francis, and he’s also actually Jewish.

Go figure.

Is there anything this Jew gets right?

Those poor blacks… whites went to their countries and forced gay sex on them!

Christian Today:

A Christian teacher has claimed she was “treated like a criminal” after being sacked by a Church of England school.

Glawdys Leger, a modern languages teacher, was sacked by Bishop Justice CofE School in Bromley, Kent, in May 2022.

She says her sacking was because she refused to teach “extreme” LGBT lessons and because she shared her Christian beliefs on these issues with pupils.

The 43-year-old had objected to the content of year 7 lessons, which had been incorporated into Religious Education (RE) classes.

The Christian Legal Centre (CLC), which is supporting the 43-year-old, said lesson materials included “extreme content on gender identity with themes that begin to suggest to children that humans can be born in the wrong body” and introduced controversial gender identities such as pansexual, asexual, intersex and transgender.

Gladwys Leger

Children were also reportedly encouraged to be allies of the queer community.

Ms Leger told pupils in her class, during a discussion on LGBTQ issues, that God made humans male and female, and that she believed LGBTQ practice was sinful.

The CLC said that she raised her conscientious objection about the lesson content but her concerns were “brushed aside and ignored”.

The school is part of the Aquinas Church of England Education Trust, which reported Ms Leger to the Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA) after a complaint was made about Ms Leger.

A ‘fitness to practice’ hearing was held by the TRA on Monday. She faces being struck off and unable to teach again if the regulating body finds against her.

Speaking ahead of the hearing, she said, “I was treated like a criminal and as though I was a danger for expressing my Christian beliefs.

Fun fact: Anglicanism has nothing to do with Christianity

“I have great compassion for LGBT people, especially for those suffering from gender confusion. I cannot, however, in good conscience teach or say things I believe are contrary to my faith, for example saying that same sex sexual relationships are good and/or affirming people in their gender confusion.

“I am certain that I have not shown, and never would show, any hatred or lack of love towards LGBT people.

“True compassion and love is to be able to speak the truth to people irrespective of their sexuality. I would never discriminate against anyone, but what the school was compelling teachers to promote, teach and celebrate these issues, which I could not do.

“For Christians it is important to remain an ally of God rather than being an ally of things that are against God’s Laws and Commandments. It is not ‘inclusive’ if pupils at a Christian school are barred from understanding what Christian belief is and means on these very serious issues.”

Yeah, they know the arguments. They’re not just going to all of a sudden “wake up to see what you’re saying.”

Wow.

The Age of Pussy is Over.

Now Dawns the Age of Anus!

RT:

A group of 12 Anglican archbishops from around the world have announced that they no longer believe the Church of England to be their “mother church” after the General Synod voted to allow priests to conduct blessings of same-sex couples in civil union.

In a seven-point statement published on Monday, the conservative Global South Fellowship of Anglican Churches (GSFA) said that with “great sorrow” it is no longer able to recognize the current Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, as “first among equals” in the global communion. The GSFA claims to represent some 75% of Anglicans worldwide.

“We pray that our withdrawal of support for him to lead the whole communion is received by him as an admonishment in love,” the press statement read.

The GSFA also claimed that through its actions, the Church of England had “departed from the historic faith” and disqualified itself as the “mother church” of the Anglican communion. The archbishops who signed the statement insisted that the decision by churches in the UK, the US, and New Zealand to allow same-sex marriage or blessings had “taken the path of false teaching.”  

“This breaks our hearts and we pray for the revisionist provinces to return to ‘the faith once delivered’ and to us,” the GSFA Primates wrote, adding that “we do not accept the view that we can still ‘walk together’ with the revisionist provinces.”

Black people are pretty based.

Some people just won’t have gay sex (unless they’re in prison).

This Welby fellow is Jew, by the way.

He’s a total kike Jew.

Life Site News:

The Church of England approved blessings for same-sex civil unions for the first time after an intervention from a cabinet member urging the church to overturn its ban on same-sex “marriage.”

Although stopping short of allowing a full-blown, solemn church wedding for same-sex couples, the Anglican bishops of England are allowing church blessings for gay and lesbian civil unions that will include “prayers of dedication, thanksgiving and God’s blessing following a legal marriage ceremony.” The matter will be reviewed next month in a General Synod of the bishops in London.

Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby defended the new policy. “This response reflects the diversity of views in the Church of England on questions of sexuality, relationships and marriage,” he said in a statement. “I rejoice in that diversity and I welcome this way of reflecting it in the life of our church.”

“I am under no illusions that what we are proposing today will appear to go too far for some and not nearly far enough for others, but it is my hope that what we have agreed will be received in a spirit of generosity, seeking the common good.”

Rehearsing the mantra of inclusion and “welcome,” the archbishop declared, “Most of all I hope it can offer a way for the Church of England, publicly and unequivocally, to say to all Christians and especially LGBTQI+ people that you are welcome and a valued and precious part of the body of Christ.”

Dissent Catholic Jesuit Fr. James Martin retweeted Welby’s statement on Twitter celebrating the Church of England’s new acceptance and blessing of same-sex unions.

The Bishops’ response to Living in Love and Faith reflects our diverse views after deep prayer, study and reflection. I hope these new Prayers of Love and Faith for same-sex couples say to all Christians and especially LGBTQI+ people that you are welcome, valued and precious. https://t.co/vM8oJrYVY1

— Archbishop of Canterbury (@JustinWelby) January 18, 2023

According to reports, the bishops will publish a formal apology on Friday to the LGBTQ+ community for the Church of England’s previous “rejection, exclusion and hostility.” Anglican clergy and parishes will be urged to welcome gay and lesbian couples “unreservedly and joyfully.”

Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell went so far as to speak of the Church of England’s casting off the biblical teaching on homosexuality as repentance from sin. “We are deeply sorry and ashamed and want to take this opportunity to begin again in the spirit of repentance which our faith teaches us,” Cottrell said. “This is not the end of that journey, but we have reached a milestone and I hope that these prayers of love and faith can provide a way for us all to celebrate and affirm same-sex relationships.”

The question of same-sex “marriage” has been debated in the Church of England for five years, with the Anglican Church in Wales allowing blessings of same-sex marriages and civil partnerships since September 2021.

The new stance of Anglican bishops in England followed an unprecedented intervention this week by Penny Mordaunt, the leader of the House of Commons who in a letter to the bishops pressured the Church of England to allow “parishes and clergy to conduct weddings for same-sex couples, or at a minimum, authorize blessings.”

Citing the passage of same-sex marriage laws in Parliament and blessings in other churches, Mordaunt argued, “It is some time now since Parliament legislated for civil partnerships and then same-sex marriage. Since then, both the Episcopal Church in Scotland and the Church of Scotland have agreed to offer same-sex marriage, and the Church in Wales plans to do so soon.”

“The issue has been under discussion within the Church of England for a long time. Whilst not a reason in itself, I fear that if it is not resolved at next month’s General Synod, the matter will continue to fester and detract from the positive contribution the Church of England makes to our society.”

After the bishops’ decision, former cabinet minister Ben Bradshaw threatened that since the Church of England was still not allowing full solemn Church weddings for same-sex couples, it should lose its “established status.” He lamented in the House of Commons that there was “no substantial change to the church’s current ban on same-sex couples being married in church in England,” declaring, “Many members across this House, I would judge a majority, believe that by continuing to exclude lesbian and gay people from its full rights, the church is no longer compatible with its established status, which confers the duty to serve the whole nation.”

It’s just out of control.

We’re all going to hell for allowing this shit.

This hasn’t been a real church in a long time anyway

Hmm…

That old Sam Hyde meme about “state-enforced homosexuality” isn’t even funny anymore, because it’s literally happening.

The Guardian:

The Church of England must move swiftly to welcome lesbian and gay people and embrace same-sex marriage or face mounting questions in parliament about its role as the established church of the country, a senior MP has said.

The church was “actively pursuing a campaign of discrimination” against lesbian and gay people that was incompatible with its role as a church for England, said Ben Bradshaw, the Labour MP for Exeter and a former secretary of state for culture, media and sport.

He was prompted to speak out after the C of E barred the late archbishop Desmond Tutu’s daughter, an ordained Anglican priest, from officiating at her godfather’s funeral last month because she is in a same-sex marriage.

Mpho Tutu van Furth was forced to hold the funeral service in a marquee next to St Michael and All Angels church in Wentnor, Shropshire.

“This was a particularly high-profile, egregious example. But cruelty like that is practised on lesbian and gay people in the church all the time, every day – people you never hear about in the headlines, people whose lives are destroyed – and it can’t go on,” said Bradshaw.

The C of E “enjoys extraordinary and unique privileges in its role in the nation’s life”, he said, citing the 26 seats in the House of Lords reserved for Anglican bishops. Yet it excluded a significant minority of the population, he said. This was “unsustainable”, especially as Anglican churches in Scotland, Wales, the US, Canada, New Zealand and elsewhere conducted or blessed same-sex marriages.

As much a love story as a dog humping a chair leg

The C of E has been bitterly divided on issues of sexuality for decades. It allows its clergy to be in same-sex relationships as long as they are celibate, but does not allow people of the same sex to be married in church or for clergy to bless civil marriages.

After a process of internal discussion, bishops are meeting this autumn to decide on proposals to put before the C of E’s governing body, the general synod, next year.

“I hope that we might see change,” said Bradshaw. “If not, parliament might want to look at this. Patience is being worn very thin, and parliament is in a position to put pressure on the church. Without change, I think we might see growing calls for disestablishment.”

This is the government forcing people to do man-on-man anal sex.

Rest assured, he also supports mutilating children
