The Chair of Unity Octave

Fr H reflects on 'unity' and the United Methodist split.

From Fr Hunwicke's Mutual Enrichment

As we soldier on with the Ecumenical aspirations of the last millennium, wonderful news.
 
An American Wesleyan sect called the United Methodist Church is planning to ... divide!!
 
They are so riven between Progressives and Conservatives, on the gender and sexuality subjects, that they are arranging a divorce.
Or, as one of their 'bishops' said on our Meejah, they are going to be Differently Together!!
 
During the last century, we were constantly lectured on the theme that Unity matters more than doctrinal and liturgical differences. So Anglican Catholics were told that things like the necessity of Episcopacy were less important than Christian Unity!!
 
Now the Progressives have suddenly discovered that the necessity of gender equality is ... more important than Christian Unity!!
The one thing you can be sure of is that the 'liberals' will always be found chained to the wheels of the Zeitgeist.
 
Does anybody seriously doubt that, back in the 1930s, these 'United Methodist' jokers would, if Germanic, have been dutiful little German Christians, forever hectoring us on how Blood and Race and Land and Leader are more important than Christian Unity?
 
Heil Wesley!! Sequentia Evangelii secundum Marcionem ... In diebus illis, dixit Satanas discipulis suis ... No wonder these mindless and docile sheep are so enamoured of the Final Solution of the Foetus Problem.
 
The Enemy's 'liberal  evangelium is constantly updated so that the half-witted will always fall for it. And they do.
Hook, line, and sinker.
