I think the Daft Covenant will be the most divisive thing since Oliver Cromwell rode into London.
God damn, does any Anglican/Episcopalian anywhere know anything, any damn thing at all, about this period in history? Or is every blessed person out there just making it up as they go?!!!!
It did. Sorry. I know you didn't, Mimi. I've calmed down now (a bit). It's all on the back of my long argument on OCICBW the other day on the same subject.
I suppose I should acknowledge that I am Protestant to the core, really. Always have been. Always will be. :-)
I'll whisper this very quietly in case Mad Priest or others are listening: not sure I believe in a priest "class". I'm with Luther on that one. (It being the 493rd anniversary today of Martin Luther's decision to nail his grievances about the church to the church door in Wittenberg, it seems appropriate to say so.)
MadPriest knows already that I'm a tad, just a tad anti-clerical. At the same time, I have a large number of priest friends, and I love them all. My ambivalence baffles even me.
I started to post on the anniversary of the 95 Theses, but when I read them, I found quite a few that I didn't much like, though I did like No. 27.
There is no divine authority for preaching that the soul flies out of the purgatory immediately the money clinks in the bottom of the chest.
I also read it, and love the sign.

ReplyDeleteNo! And to think I never knew! ;-)
Obviously I've hidden it well then :-)

ReplyDeletePreach it, brother!
Luther was by no means a perfect person and harboured quite a few worrying attitudes but he is still one of the heroes of western history.
