What Would Christ Have Done?
Amid some sanctimonious boasting about the Church's good works, and noting with exemplary Blairite moderation that concerns about the pollution of communities by migrant hordes are legitimate and understandable, the Archbishop of Canterbury has criticised the Government's more hysterical rhetoric on the subject. The CEO of the famously female-friendly and LGBTQ-tolerant Church noted that treating people as problems denies their essential value and dignity, while his recommendation that families should be reunited explicitly flies in the face of the Saviour's repudiation of family ties in favour of doctrinal purity and His recommendation that the dead should be left to bury the dead. The Archbishop even went so far as to proclaim that "a hostile environment is an immoral environment." Even if we discount the Saviour's gross insult to a petitioner from outside His own community, this teaching will come as a surprise to the Archbishop's supremely moral Employer in heaven, who created an entire realm in which His enemies could be tormented for eternity.
