Archbishop Obsessed

Anglican Archbishop of Perth Roger Herft laments:

...that many of the alarmist claims by One Nation's former leader, Pauline Hanson, a decade ago had now become accepted political rhetoric (and) urged the community to move away from "the mean world fuelled by fear".
Absolutely, Archbishop. Perhaps we should embrace the Chinese proverb - 'when rape is inevitable, lie back and enjoy it'.

The Archbishop:

...also fixed his aim on the church, criticising its obsession with sex.

He said issues such as the blessing of same-sex couples, having homosexuals as church leaders and the ordination of women had dominated church debate, creating rifts between members of the faith.

Archbishop Herft said it was "ironic and unedifying" that the Anglican communion was preoccupied with sex when there were other more significant events competing for attention.
What he actually means is that if you object to the English-speaking Church of England's obsession with mainstreaming homosexuality, then you're obsessed with sex.

And damn those pesky darkies who have better morals than we.
