#4 look its one thing for members of a minority to voluntarily adhere to religious law. Or even to sign contracts in which they voluntarily commit to religiuos law. Its quite another to designate certain individuals based on their personal status to be governed by other laws than the rest of the community. The latter is a retreat from liberalism, classical or otherwise.

OTOH maybe the old established church, which was thriving when there were different laws for nobles, for clergy, etc is not so enamored of liberalism, classical or otherwise?

#5 The bit about Muslims not expecting others to follow all the details of Muslim law in Muslim countries was particularly disingenuous, given the depth of the current Archbishop of Canterbury's knowledge, and the subtlety of his thinking.

#6 Synod members gave him a minute-long standing ovation as he took his seat and laughed at his jokes

so this is not a case of a loose cannon, but appears to be an accurate reflection of his flock... ovine idiots.

#7 Don't these people have any survival instinct at all? Or are they so insulated that they have no concept of the real world?

#9 The most disgusting thing about this ass is how he blithely opines that "equality under the law" is not all that good a thing.

Probably the one main thing that lifted the West above the barbarians he would throw out without a qualm.

And BTW those Muslim Laws he's so fond of allow for the murder of women. I don't think that UK law does. How's he going to reconcile the difference, hmmmmmm? Can a Muzzie chick sign over her right to life to some "male" relative or Imam?

The AoC is a perfect example of despicable.
