Days after the Anglican Church elected pro-choice, pro-LBGTQ feminist Sarah Mullally to be the next Archbishop of Canterbury, a new controversy is brewing after church officials decked out te the famed Canterbury Cathedral in graffiti, leading one commenter to describe it as looking like an “underground car park,” according to The Times.

The graffiti is part of an art installation set to open on October 17 and running for three months. Rather than real spray paint, the artists have applied decals to the walls, staircases, and pillars, and include questions such as “Are you there?”, “Where does love come from?”, “God, what happens when we die?” and “Why did you create hate when love is by far more powerful?”

The Cathedral is a world heritage site and was founded 1400 years ago, making it one of the most famous Christian structures in the world. After several people complained about it before its launch, Anglican officials acknowledged:

That’s the problem !

The last time Anglicans were furious about anything was 1885, when General Gordon was killed.

This is a precursor to having these churches destroyed by the moslems.

They are marking them for demolition, just as buildings intended for demolition get covered in grefitti.

Good grief that is disgusting. Liberals love the ugly, profane, and satanic. Anything beautiful or pure is disgusting to them.
