Yesterday we published Richard the Fourth: “The Anglican Church is Dead.” Our thanks to cp for his comments, which take up the remainder of this blog piece:

“Within living memory, the moral principles of Christian marriage were once so important that King Edward VIII could not marry a divorcee, and was forced to abdicate in the 1930s. Then, Princess Margaret could not marry the divorcee Peter Townsend in the 1950s, permission being denied by her own sister, the Queen.

These principles were utterly abandoned, and revealed to be a sham, a charade, in the 2005 wedding of Charles and Camilla, with the Archbishop of Canterbury officiating.

The solemn pomp and circumstance of Christian marriage had been a very important tool of the Establishment. It allowed control of the population within moral guidelines and guiding principles which assisted in the formation of families. Monogamy is natural to neither men nor women. And, although everyone is far too polite to mention it, the problem isn’t restricted to the high male sex drive. Women gain huge reproductive advantage in their offspring through polyandry. Having children by a range of fathers minimises the risk of genetic defects in her children. Meanwhile she can be assured that her genes are in the entire brood. Her risks are minimised by spread betting, and always aiming upwards, inexorably upwards, in what the next male can bring to her table. She doesn’t wish to be fettered, she requires a system where she can escape the restrictive practices of monogamy with children, cash & prizes, such as a guaranteed roof over her head, and child support for those children of hers.

For centuries, the big books of Middle Eastern fairy stories served to restrict the socially acceptable behaviours of females in particular, through modesty codes and pre-marital chastity, thus giving the average bloke a modicum of reassurance that his genes were in at least some of the children he was supporting by his labours. All of the Abrahamic religions have the same aim. But, as feminism pervaded the west from the 1950s onwards, and women gained clout in employment, politics and jurisprudence, women in the ‘Christian’ world slowly began to impose female reproductive preferences, circumstances which would be favourable to them trading up with no penalty. As a result, we now have ‘no fault’ divorce, something which can be traced back to NAWL, the National Association of Women Lawyers. We have women advantaged in employment with EEO, AA, ESG, DEI, and ‘quotas’ in STEM, on governing boards, and in political shortlists. This will place her in contact with ‘higher value’ men. Her income allows her to be ‘choosy’. All men beneath her pay grade are invisible, and ‘sexual harassment’ legislation keep them invisible. By Law. The ‘Patriarchy’ imposed by Christian ethics has been dissolved by stealth.

Of the Abrahamic religions, Judaism and Islam have maintained an upper hand for men. Only the man can release a woman from Jewish marriage. One might contemplate why Judaism has become the focus of such intense hatred from ‘progressive’ causes…

Meanwhile, the rot which set into western institutions continues apace, and the appointment of Sarah Mulhally as Archbishop of Canturbury only increases the irrelevance of the Anglican Church in the utter abrogation of its intended role – to provide moral guidelines and principles which will encourage the formation of families. Such aims will not be encouraged by Sarah Mulhally’s support for same sex marriage, nor her advocacy for the ‘pro-choice’ camp.

Someone, a few days ago, made the point that the CofE was like a cricket club which had forgotten the rules of the game. The old umpires have gone. Dicky Bird is dead. I simply find it instructive to recollect the collective farces which brought us Queen Camilla…the unlikely poster girl for what most western women now seem to aspire to. It didn’t really matter what vows she made to Andrew Parker Bowles. She could still end up marrying the future King of the Realm…in a ceremony presided over by the Archbishop of Canterbury, utter irrelevance incarnate.”
