The Bishop of London addressing his flock.
The Bishop of London Rev Richard Chartres has declared that the common people are committing sins with their vulgar flying off on holidays to tacky places like Spain and Majorca, when it should be reserved for more exalted beings such as himself, who makes frequent jaunts to Russia.
Why is holidaymaking a sin? Because,
There is now an overriding imperative to walk more lightly upon the earth and we need to make our lifestyle decisions in that light.Ephemeral Isle is currently putting together a deputation to visit Rev Chartres and explain to him that he is supposed to be, in fact, a prelate of the Christian church, and not a high priest of the pagan Cult of Gaia.
Making selfish choices such as flying on holiday or buying a large car are a symptom of sin.
This seems to have slipped his memory.
Hmm, I absolutely agree with you. Any bishop advising people on moral behaviour is way out of line.
ReplyDeleteOh wait! Sorry, I must have read it that wrongly. You're saying that it's illegitimate for bishops to believe in Global Warming?
Or was your point that he's being hypocritical since he himself visits Russia? A hypocritical religious figure?! Stop the press!
