Anglican clerics seek doctrinal stability in the Catholic Church

UK: Former Protestants Defect to [Paedophillic] Catholic Church – in Protest to Canterbury’s “Liberal” Attitudes! (24.12.2025)

Internal divisions in the Church of England, especially around the ordination of women and the blessing of same-sex couples, have caused a steady flow of Anglican clergy to the Catholic Church in recent decades. This is reported by The Telegraph, citing a recent study that counts at least 491 former Anglican vicars who have been ordained Catholic priests in the last thirty years.

The phenomenon dates back to 1992, when the General Synod of the Church of England approved the ordination of women, a decision that triggered a first wave of departures. Since then, doctrinal and moral debates have intensified, generating a growing fracture between conservative and liberal sectors of Anglicanism.

UK: House of Bishops – Men in Dresses Dither Over Same-Sex Blessings in “Living in Love and Faith” Tussle! (23.12.2025)

On Friday, the Bishop of St Edmundsbury & Ipswich, Dr Joanne Grenfell, said that she “approached Tuesday’s meeting of the House of Bishops with the voices of LGBTQI+ colleagues and friends on my heart.

“So many have written to me to ask that the House of Bishops does not forget that our work is not just part of a church process, but fundamentally affects their lives and those of their loved ones,” she said.

The Bishop quoted a recent sermon by the Dean of St Edmundsbury, the Very Revd Joe Hawes, in which he called on the Bishops to act (News, 15 December).

Decisions “cannot be paused or stalled”, Dr Grenfell said: “There are matters of justice that need attention now, particularly around ordinands and clergy in same-sex marriages.”

UK: Daoism and the Politics of Ageing! (30.9.2025)

30/09/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

For me, it was obvious that “virtue” equated to “longevity” – and it had nothing to do with the Bible or Western religion (the godly live to very old ages). The Western view was (and remains) that non-Christians are essentially evil and therefore are unable to live to very old ages. The Devil strikes them down due to his own inherent corruption – which flows through their veins. As a non-Christian, this description would involve myself – but here’s the thing – I do not feel any more or less good or bad than anyone else. Furthermore, I was told that Chinese people “lie” about their age in an attempt to mimic those who lived very long lives in the Old Testament (according to the Jews). I could not understand this approach – as Chinese Daoism is an ancient teaching (in one form or another) that specialises in “life-extension”. Virtue (德 – De) is a product of climbing a tower (self-cultivation) so that when the top is reached (enlightenment) – things can be seen in a 360 degree perspective.

Reform UK – Instant Noodle Politics & Comedy Fascism! (7.9.2025)

07/09/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

Many on the right and far-right detest Farage as a traitor and betrayer of the cause – but I doubt many know his plans to switch back-on this pathway of highly dubious legal immigration. Let’s face it, any policy the government decrees to be acceptable – becomes legal. The hypocrisy of Farage – that great friend of the betrayer of the left George Galloway – is only a drop in the ocean of the problems the UK has got. If you have access to a TV, computer screen, and/or a streaming service, you can regale yourself with the utter mess the UK has become via the (unintentionally) hilarious footage covering the Conference of Reform UK. This looks like a cross between X Factor, Stars in Their Eyes, and Blind Date. If you happen to have lived through any of these Crimes Against Humanity – you will probably “whince” as a form of Pavlovian conditioning.

Report: Ghost Hunting in North Devon! (29.8.2025)

29/08/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

With most of the lights off by 11pm, I sat on my religious chair (the Church dates back to the 14th century – and so does the chair). I cleared my mind and immersed myself into the ancient nature of the stone-work. The stone was cool to the touch – I went bare-foot to ground myself – and felt the calm structure of the place. No fear, no deception, and nothing to worry about, Although I neither support or oppose theology – I sensed the spiritual feel that all the attendees developed and projected into rge physical structure of the place. In many places in the UK, the Christians deliberately built their Churches on already existing Pagan sites of ancient spirituality – with nothing to do with a Christian god. The mistake that Christians make is that their own mind creates the religion they believe in – but they mistakenly believe that their religion exists “outside” their heads, independent of the mind that generates it. The perception is inverted and the wrong way around.

Jacobites: ‘Lost African Tribe’ Set-Up Home in Scots Woodlands – Locals Baffled! (21.8.2025)

Their presence has left locals baffled although the tribe claim to live a simple life, bathing in a nearby stream, living in tents, and connecting with nature.

However, they said on Tuesday that they ‘don’t recognise local laws’ and have faced persecution from those who don’t understand their ways.

They have been served eviction notices, and have even suffered an attack on their camp when their tents were set on fire. However, instead of bowing to local law enforcement, they say they only recognise the laws of their God, named Yahowah.

King Atehene, 36, who was previously an opera singer under the name Kofi Offeh, leads the group, which consists of his wife, Queen Nandi, and their handmaiden Asnat. They claim they are a lost tribe of Hebrews, with their King descended from David the Messiah, and say their ancestors were cast out when Elizabeth I deported native black Jacobites.

The group say they live a simple life, and aim to fulfil a prophecy to establish their kingdom and bring other “lost tribes” back into the fold.

King Atehene said: “The prophecy said, after 400 years, when my ancestors are destroyed from the land of Scotland, from the land of Great Britain, they will go into captivity and lose their identity.
