An established church with a different law to the state is, in essence, a contradiction in terms.

THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND LONG SINCE PASSED — 8 Comments
Hmmm. Does the State run an Established Church or does an Established Church run the State? I think either way it’s a bad deal. The Church of England was established only in a few places here (Virginia was one) during Colonial times and after the Revolution. Life was difficult for them after war. In the former Colonies after the war the non-established churches were much better off.
I believe that the dis-establishment of the C of E would make both the State and the Church more free. (Perhaps the 1662 BCP could finally be retired as the official prayer book among other things).
Being a contradiction in terms is what Anglicanism/Church of England does best; why do you think this will, or even should, change anytime soon? It’s too irrelevant for anyone but a tiny minority of those involved with it to notice and so it limps along.
It still has a lot more friends than you, Brad, and is nowhere near as irrelevant as you are. Heck, you’re a troll, man. Dog shit on your shoes is more popular than you.

This Yank can’t help thinking this entry is needlessly wordy:
“An established church is, in essence, a contradiction in terms”: fixed it! ;-/
This Englishman can’t help thinking that at least we don’t have the craziness from religious people that the yanks have to put up with (except for our Muslims, of course).
Someday, I’m going to post pics of JCF’s and Mrs. MadPriest gettin’ it on!
I bet you’re jacking yourself off thinking about it, Brad. At least it makes a change from prepubescent boys you perv.
I will not feed the troll. I will not feed the troll. I will not feed the troll…
