Viral Yeast

At a time when God has seen fit to afflict the world with a deadly pandemic, and to assist His servant the virus in mutating and evolving to ensure its continuing effectiveness as an instrument of holy chastisement, it is of course entirely predictable and natural that the leadership of the Church of England should be all of a tizzy about sex. In January the Anglican Church in North America issued a statement on the pastoral care of gay people, which moved another faction to complain that the church was holding homosexual people to a higher standard than straight people, and the bishop of Nigeria was provoked to fulmination. He compared homosexuality to a deadly yeast-like virus to be urgently and radically expunged, and has now been scolded by the Archbishop of Canterbury for using dehumanising language and for not being enough of a hypocrite. It remains to be seen how the Archbishop's invisible employer will see fit to discipline those of His servants who dehumanise people whom the Anglican mainstream now considers useful enough to dupe but not human enough to marry.
