Greasy Palmers

When the Conservatives and their Liberal Democrat accomplices began their assault on the poor, protesters camped outside St Paul's Cathedral; the Church responded first by complaining about the loss of revenue, and then by calling in the City of London police to hose away the trash. When the gay-baiters raise a squeal about the private lives of consenting adults, the Church takes due precaution against a dupe-drain and hastily follows its Saviour in endorsing His Father's hatred as set forth in the Bronze Age ravings of Leviticus and numerous Plastic Age televangelists. And when much of life on Earth ("the whole of creation" as one believer put it, no doubt in all humility) is endangered by fossil fuel companies making large profits, the Church continues its investment in fossil fuel companies. Nobody can serve two masters, as someone or other once said; and the Church of England has always been steadfast in its fealty to Mammon.
