He's been reading too much Dean Swift.

It's a hoot though. Symphorodox Church, indeed!

The point being that in some church circles, this will be taken as straight prose?

Knox is great. Any idea when this article was written?

Such opinionated arrogance must be firmly dealt with; and I would therefore suggest, in the interests of the reunion of religions, that upon his conquest of Ireland our great Commander Sir E. C., should put all papist children to the sword, and we should make it a criminal offence for the future, that any papist should be allowed to marry, or have issue: the offence itself to be punished with death, and the resulting issue to be exposed on some hillside, lest it should grow up infected with the gross superstition of its parents.

Hear, Hear...

There are too many good lines here to even start to quote. The only problem with this is it is so long I'm afraid to send it to some people I know whom I know don't have time to read it.

And though our countrymen might be prevailed upon to abandon whatsoever else in the interests of peace, there are two privileges they will never relinquish except at the sword's point, and namely, bacon and beer.

Damn right.

But I cannot doubt, upon a little cool reflection, we should rid ourselves of these fanciful megrims of sectarian particularity; and there is gain to be shown on the other side; for example, it may be anticipated the Seventh Day Adventists will demand the observance of Saturday as well as Sunday as a feast of the Church; and we shall thus have two days instead of one in every seven on which we can lie abed till noon, over-eat ourselves, go out driving in the country, and dine away from home under colour of sparing trouble to our domestics.

Such practical advice should be taken to heart!
