They both ought to be relieved so that they can share the post of Governor(s) General of the Bahamas. They could share a nice, comfortable house there with Brittany Spears.
Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams is an idiot. As Cramer would say, “he knows nothing, he knows nothing”.
“Catholic leader Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor said he was “saddened” by the way the archbishop had been misunderstood.
“I think he did raise a point of considerable interest and concern at the moment, namely, the rights of a religious groups within secular state. “
Another moron - and I’m Catholic.
“Another moron - and I’m Catholic”
Me too, is there any men left in the catholic church?? My priests are sissies. I mean sissies!!!
Mine wears Save Darfur! and Proud Member of the VLWC tee shirts.
WoW, let me see if I can beat that one. Mine just built themselves a new 800k priest’s residence that they extracted from the parish. Jacuzzis, and all the comforts of home.
Word just came down that our church and another may have to close. No money.
Rowan Williams, the Pink Flamingo and the loony Archbishop of Nothing. Williams once described himself as a “hairy lefty”. No surprise is it?
Christianity is all but dead in England anyway. No offense to the few Brits who still practice the faith but that’s why Muslims love it there. There aren’t many of those annoying Christians who have been battling them for 1300 years. And those that remain have been silenced by raging, out-of-control political correctness and speech codes.
So it’s really no surprise why the Anglicans are closing up shop with leaders like this gutless wonder.
There. Fixed it.
I think someone needs to remind this maroon, just what happens to pesky Archbishops of Canterbury.
'Shocked!' I tell you. He hadn't a clue such an innocuous statement would generate so much heat. of course he had no intention of suggesting that Sharia law should replace British law.
Of course he didn't. We all know that . . . don't we? . . .
well, don't we? . . . hello? . . . is anyone out there? . . .

Martin Luther:”Here I stand I can do no other”
Archbishop Williams”You can stand here..or there, or anywhere you want, we sure dont want to offend anybody!”
The church has historical personages who stand up against the flow and say NO WAY IN HELL WE GO THAT WAY AS A CHURCH..Rowan Willams is not one of those...
Rowan Williams is a fool; if he won’t quit, Parliament should fire him immediately.
Yes, your Pope clearly is one;
I'd gladly trade you Rowan Williams for him, AND the "Presiding Bishop" of what remains of the Episcopal Church of the U.S., AND a draft choice to be named later!
Ok, agreed.
Oh, it has taken forward a serious public debate. Clearly there are issues to be discussed here, not the least of which is just how blind an eye British jurisprudence can afford to cast toward a rival legal system that has every intention of supplanting it.
It is no real surprise that other, ah, "scholars" have flown to Williams' defense with the curious argument that not only did Williams not mean what he said, he didn't say what he said. That, in my view, is taxing public credulity just a little far, nearly as far as declaring grandly that Williams had a "public debate" in mind but that anyone who actually does attempt to debate the matter is "hysterical."
There is an underlying theme here that is not immediately apparent:
Is there truth? Or is truth “relative” (in this case, relative to cultures and religions)?
[Pontius Pilate: “What is truth?”]
There is ONE truth, ONE God, and ONE Redeemer.
If Archbishop Williams is unable to affirm this, he should indeed resign.
