The Church of England is pressuring parishes to install solar panels and heat pumps because it has pledged to become carbon neutral by 2030. Meaningless nonsense, I know, but it would be good to see the figurehead of the Church of England leading the meaningless nonsense by example.

To the contrary, not content with polluting the spiritual atmosphere with his theological flatulence, he is busy pumping carbon dioxide – one of the few remaining sins left in the CofE – into the physical atmosphere.

In the last 10 months he has flown 48,000 miles. Most parishioners would probably be indifferent to these clerical peregrinations if it were not such a stark illustration of the some animals are more equal than others principle.

He used to be an oil industry executive; it’s difficult to kick old habits.

From here:

Justin Welby has been dubbed the ‘Archbishop of Airmiles’ and accused of hypocrisy for flying around the world while pressuring congregations to achieve net zero.

The Archbishop of Canterbury will be travelling to Guatemala, El Salvador, Panama and Costa Rica later this month having only just returned from Zanzibar.

Church of England officials and parishioners said their leader had almost become a ‘member of the Foreign Office’, jetting to global hot spots and summits while seemingly ignoring problems at home.

Analysis by the Daily Mail found that by next month Dr Welby will have travelled at least 48,000 miles on ten trips since last September on a worldwide tour.

The flights alone would have added at least 15 tons of carbon dioxide emissions to his carbon footprint.

For the last ten years the Archbishop of Canterbury has been trying to reconcile the differences disrupting the Anglican Communion. As is often the case in the Anglican church, it is mostly about sex.

The more he tries, the worse it gets, to the point now where both liberals and conservatives are urging him to resign. In his quest to answer one of the most difficult and profound questions ever to face mankind – who is allowed to grope whom – his own groping in darkness has ended; he has seen the light.

It’s no wonder he has made such a mess of things; he’s been barking up the wrong tree ever since he attended Alpha. Jesus isn’t the light of the world after all! Hindus are.

In his own words: “Hindus are so often being the light that we need”.

After a great deal of soul searching, Justin Welby has decided that black lives matter so much that a pasty white-supremacist ex oil executive should not be the first among equals in the Anglican Communion.

He is resigning.

Raz Simone, rapper, self-appointed warlord of the independent nation of Chaz (in desperate need of vegan food, incidentally), is a natural for the job because Raz doesn’t care about white-supremacist equality tripe: he is first among equals because he has a large supply of every variety of automatic weapon at his disposal. That’s diversity, baby.

As Justin says:

“I come back to the fact that, in the New Testament, Jesus says be angry about injustice”

Raz is angry all the time. A true follower of Jesus.

Anyhow, you only have to do is look at these two photo-ops of Raz and Justin to see who is really in charge, cool and relevant.

Archbishop Raz:

Archbishop Justin:

Need I say more.

When questioned about the Church of England’s financial situation and the difficulty of collecting, diocesan assessments, Raz said, “No problem, man. Like, it’s the same as the stores in Free Chaz: they pay us and we don’t smash their windows. And you know, like, stained glass windows are so expensive.”

Not that there are any, but you never know: Welby’s irritating elevation of reconciliation to the status of demigod could end up driving the most mild-mannered curate to the brink of frenzied barbarism.

From here:

The Archbishop of Canterbury said all religions and their leaders must own up to extremist activities within their faith and examine which of their traditional teachings enable extremists to commit evil.

Rev. Justin Welby, the figurehead of the worldwide Anglican Church, told interfaith leaders in Sri Lanka that accepting responsibility is key rather than disavowing an evildoer as not a good enough follower of a religion.

Welby arrived in Sri Lanka on Thursday and first visited St. Sebastian’s Church near the town of Negombo and paid homage to those killed in the Easter suicide bomb attacks blamed on Muslim extremists.

Later Thursday, he met with Buddhist, Hindu and Muslim leaders.

Discussion among faiths has become more difficult in the last 30 or 40 years and in every faith, including in Christianity, extremist attitudes have grown, he told the religious leaders.

“And it is the duty of every religious tradition, for its leaders to resist extremism and to teach peaceful dialogue. So the first challenge to all of us is take responsibility,” he said.

“If a Christian does something evil, it is not for me to say ‘well they are not a real Christian’; I have to ask myself ‘what is within my faith tradition, our historic teaching that makes it easy for them to do that?’”
