Good Old Days

As the Church of England continues chewing its coccyx over the permissible manifestations of human love, researchers at Salisbury Cathedral have been compiling a history of the numerous nefarious activities which have taken place within the close of their venerable pile. It appears that God's chosen were just as much inclinded towards lying, stealing, brawling and not keeping off the grass even when the sodomy laws were in full force and Church propaganda was all-pervasive. "All this is a great disturber of the suggestion that things used to be so much better," observed the dean, singling out his fellow Anglicans for their "dewy-eyed" moral nostalgia; of which the Saviour, who considered Bronze Age morals too lax and liberal for the Iron Age, would certainly be unlikely to approve.
