I think Her Majesty as Supreme Governor of the Church of England needs to remove this fool.

Is he out of his mind?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Let's all just sit around the pub all day and swill our organic Guinness and save the earth.

[Tublecane]

Death of what is most distinctly human, huh? Fine. Let’s exterminate billions of people so we can go back to the pure human race as it existed before “consumerism”. Can’t see any flaw in that argument.

[Truth is a Weapon]

What an “f”ing fool! If all of the farmers in the world only produced enough to feed their own families (zero growth), billion of people would starve to death.

[goldstategop]

What an idiot! People WILL DIE without producing food and water! Where does the Archbishop of Canterbury think they come from - air?

This guy is an embarrassment to Anglicans everywhere.

[Secret Agent Man]

Rowan’s been crazy for a long time, this statement is no surprise. His church is full of homosexuals and eco-nuts.

[TASMANIANRED]

His mind is so open his brains fell out.

[Paladin2]

Bring on ignorance, death, pestilence, hunger and war. Great Plan.

[Sunshine Sister]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! I think this idiot should go back to saving souls and leave economics to economists!

He is only calling for mass starvation and mass poverty

He's right, assuming dysentery is what is "most distinctively human."

[Night Hides Not]

He is only calling for mass starvation and mass poverty

He's certainly not calling for an end to the tithes to his church.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

assuming dysentery is what is “most distinctively human.”

well, my former cat, now deceased of old age, had that “most distinctively human” characteristic once, at 3 a.m., on the bed, less than 3 feet from my breathing mechanism..let me tell you, it woke me up faster than a bad dream about my ex-wife..
