An Enemy Has Done This

3 1
previous day

The Anglican communion headed by Canterbury cathedral has been taken over by a group of radicalized elites. The massive shift affects not only the Anglican communion itself, but Great Britain, the Commonwealth, and the global Christian community.

The current coup seeks to disestablish Christianity in favor of a religio-political cult dedicated to applying queer theology to the Church, a process that involves the deconstruction of historic church doctrines.  

The current coup is as significant as Henry VIII’s break from the Catholic church and the authority of the pope in 1534. Henry’s actions disestablished the Church’s position as being superior to earthly authority by making the state headed by the person of the King as the supreme head of the Christian church.

The sign and seal of the queering of Canterbury communion and the cult’s ascendency to power has been the defacement and degradation of the cathedral by the recent graffiti display approved by the Dean of the Cathedral, David Monteith, who considers himself married to a man. The artist is Alex Vellis, who self-describes as a non-binary trans activist using the pronouns “they/them.”

While the graffiti is in the form of removable stickers and so will not remain permanent, it is worth asking a question posed by Dr. Gavin Ashenden, former chaplain to Queen Elizabeth II: Why would both the dean and the artist approve a message that would “wound, disturb, disorder, disrupt and pollute a cathedral”?  

The answer is that the disruption is a deliberate assault designed to undermine the foundational beliefs Canterbury cathedral has represented for over a millennium.

Since ancient times, defacement and destruction of buildings, particularly religious sanctuaries, indicate profound political and theological shifts. Destruction of rivals’ symbols, statues and buildings is meant to show the watching world the complete loss of the authority wielded by those who created them. The God or gods on whose behalf the constructs were erected are considered conquered and effectually dead.  

Sennacherib destroyed the temples of the gods of Babylon.  Antiochus IV Epiphanes, the ruler of the Seleucid Empire, erected a statue of Zeus and sacrificed a pig in the Jewish Temple of Jerusalem.
