Evil.
There’s no other word for it.
Yep, I agree!
The Church of England is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the LGBTQRSTUV+ mafia,,, as are many other “churches”.
They’ve all bought into the doctrine of insipid, pathological “compassion”, wherein any deviancy is accepted and venerated in the name of compassion.
After all, you don’t want to be a hater, do you?
Why does Gaystapo own Church of England?
They support their agenda all the way up to mutilating kids.
And to think I use to be a member of that church..
Prots are perverts.
Who shall rid us of this petulant priest...
Well golly. I wonder what pisslam’s stance is on trans?
According to this guy, God makes mistakes. Heckofa Bishop. Fake shithole church founded by a serial murderer.
