controversial by modern Catholics because of the growing divide between the New Order and the Old - the Novus Ordo and the Vetus Ordo. Without going into too much inside baseball, there have been arguments over whether the SSPX were schismatic, irregular or in full communion with Rome since the first consecrations in 1988, or indeed, since the Society was founded in 1970. The <a href="https://press.vatican.va/content/salastampa/it/bollettino/pubblico/2026/07/02/0568/01077.html">Vatican has now issued a decree</a> outlining that all bishops, priests and laymen who continue to attend SSPX chapels are ipso facto excommunicated. This will come as a huge blow to families who attend these chapels not out of defiance of Rome, but to ensure they raise their children in the fullness of the faith, in line with Sacred Tradition. There are many lay Catholics who are attempting to avoid the local modernist church where Pride Masses, same-sex blessings, altar girls, lay Eucharistic Ministers and Drag Queen story time are promoted as the norm. Understandably so.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.calvinrobinson.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">This Substack is reader-supported.

It is regular practice for the Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF) to meet in such situations. Unfortunately, that is currently Cardinal Fern&#225;ndez, the author of &#8220;Heal Me With Your Mouth: The Art of Kissing&#8221; and &#8220;Mystical Passion: Spirituality and Sensuality.&#8221; How such a man got into a position of such power and influence with such scandalous and blasphemous books about &#8220;mystical orgasms&#8221; and an &#8220;erotic encounter with Jesus Christ&#8221; is beyond me. But one can surely appreciate why traditionalist Catholics would not be particularly excited about meeting with him. And all that said, there is nothing to prevent the Holy Father from meeting with the SSPX. After all, he recently met and prayed with a priestess, the Archisopette of Canterbury. I believe it would have been a good thing for the Pope to grant the SSPX a papal mandate to elect their bishops, because they are doing so out of necessity. Faithful families need bishops to confirm their children. Bishops are a prerequisite for access to the Sacraments, and that is the primary purpose of the Church.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

Catholic families around the world will be facing a tough dilemma because of this, and any separation of the faithful from each other should be a cause of sadness. We should pray for unity, and anyone gloating should repent.</p><p>Some lay Catholics are now going to have to choose between adhering to Catholic Tradition but being excommunicated, or being in Communion with Rome but embracing modernism. No one should be forced into this situation. Many people will disagree with me, but I know this to be true as I have spoken to families in these situations. It is a dichotomy that should not exist. The Traditional Latin Mass is a significant part of the deposit of faith, as is communion with the Pope. One should never be put into a scenario where one must choose one over the other. And that raises the question: what does it mean to be Catholic? The Athanasian Creed would teach us that it is, first and foremost, about our faith, and that is what the <a href="https://fsspx.news/en/news/letter-holy-father-regarding-decree-dicastery-doctrine-faith-59956">SSPX&#8217;s response</a> has been. Again, that is not to say communion with Rome is unimportant; of course, it is a vital factor in Catholicism, but is it the definition? It was once the wholeness of the universal faith that was the priority. What happens when the pope is wrong?  And we must not forget that the Mass is the source and summit of the Catholic faith.

Can consecrating bishops in the faith ever be disobedient? Especially when the Church is in a time of crisis. The SSPX have determined that the Church is in a <a href="https://sspx.org/en/state-necessity-30464">state of necessity</a>. If it is the Vatican which is the cause of the necessity, can the Vatican rightly excommunicate those calling for restoration? So many questions, but the one at the forefront of my mind is, will there also be excommunications for Fr James Martin who promotes same-sex blessings, the German bishops who push for priestesses, the Sisters of St Joseph who ditched their habits and act like priests, Cardinal Kasper for communing divorcees, Cardinals McElroy and Cupich for pushing progressive politics, Bishop Martin and Archbishop Weisenburger for vindictively suppressing the Tradition of the Church, which it is their sacred duty to protect? Somehow I doubt it. Just this week, Fr Jim O&#8217;Keefe hosted what looked like a gay wedding in church and said, &#8216;We celebrate two men who are honourably gay.&#8217; He remains in good standing with the Church.</p><p>Obedience is important, but blind obedience has never been Church practice. We are to be obedient in all things lawful and right. The virtue of obedience must always serve the Truth. Archbishop Lefebvre said, &#8220;Obedience is a virtue intended to direct us toward good, not toward evil.&#8221;</p><p>The modernists have a stranglehold on the Vatican. A clergyman can promote abortion, LGBTQ+, mass migration or communism and seemingly remain in good standing - all issues which go against the faith. But in defending the Apostolic Tradition, the SSPX have found themselves booted out. None of this seems right, just or fair. What you permit, you promote! </p><p>There is a Pharisaical legalism about all of this. People latching onto the letter of Canon Law, without considering the Spirit.</p><p>There is an evident <span>Papal positivism rearing its ugly head, which is outside the Tradition of the Faith. This could be the fruit of an exaggerated ultramontanist interpretation of Vatican I, and the American legal culture could have some part to play in all this, with its emphasis on positive law. But what is certain is that we could all do with re-reading St John Henry Newman: &#8220;The Pope is a guardian of Tradition, not its master.&#8221;</span></p><p>The Pope, as the Vicar of Christ and Successor of St Peter, has supreme and universal primacy in the Church. He has the authority to teach and govern. But his authority is limited; it is ministerial, not arbitrary or absolute. As Bishop Athanasius Schneider said, there has been &#8220;an implicit divinisation of the pope&#8221; amongst papal-positivists, modernists, and hyper-ultramontanists. As well as being bound by collegiality, divine and natural law (thus the inability to command the faithful to sin or contradict the moral order), he is bound by the Deposit of Faith and Church Tradition. In regard to the Deposit of Faith (Sacred Scripture + Sacred Tradition), the pope is its guardian and interpreter, not its master or creator. He cannot invent new doctrines or abrogate essential elements of Tradition. Tell me how suppressing the Traditional Latin Mass is not abrogating essential elements of Tradition. In adhering to Apostolic Tradition and in consecrating bishops out of necessity, the SSPX seem to be in the right. In my humble opinion, the popes were out of bounds by suppressing the Mass, and it is wrong to excommunicate bishops who have declared that the Church is in a state of grave necessity. Especially considering that all of this could have been avoided if a mandate had been granted.</p><p>Prayers for unity must continue. But that will come from two directions, not one.</p><p>It has been very telling seeing the vicious attacks from one camp of Catholics towards another. Again, I am neither Roman Catholic nor SSPX; I have no dog in this fight. But wrong is wrong. The Novus Ordo fangirls and fanboys who have been attacking their brothers and sisters in Christ need to reflect on their motivations.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TAAF!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F317ed407-e0e3-47ae-b401-ceae70b4e362_584x834.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TAAF!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F317ed407-e0e3-47ae-b401-ceae70b4e362_584x834.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TAAF!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F317ed407-e0e3-47ae-b401-ceae70b4e362_584x834.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TAAF!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F317ed407-e0e3-47ae-b401-ceae70b4e362_584x834.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TAAF!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F317ed407-e0e3-47ae-b401-ceae70b4e362_584x834.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TAAF!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F317ed407-e0e3-47ae-b401-ceae70b4e362_584x834.png" width="584" height="834" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/317ed407-e0e3-47ae-b401-ceae70b4e362_584x834.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:834,&quot;width&quot;:584,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Image&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="Image" title="Image" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TAAF!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F317ed407-e0e3-47ae-b401-ceae70b4e362_584x834.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TAAF!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F317ed407-e0e3-47ae-b401-ceae70b4e362_584x834.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TAAF!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F317ed407-e0e3-47ae-b401-ceae70b4e362_584x834.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TAAF!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F317ed407-e0e3-47ae-b401-ceae70b4e362_584x834.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>People are pointing out that there are other options for the laity, such as the FSSP, but let us not pretend that the FSSP would exist were it not for the SSPX, which has been a prominent defender of the faith once delivered to the saints. And most dioceses no longer have ready access to TLM Masses, because vindictive modernist bishops have suppressed the Mass of the Ages, in accordance with Traditionis Custodes.</p><p>And so, now, many people really will have to choose between the Mass celebrated by most Christians throughout Church history and the New Mass of Vatican II and the faith that accompanies it. No one is suggesting the Novus Ordo is any less valid than the Vetus Ordo, but as catholics we believe lex orandi lex credendi. How you worship matters - faith is taught implicitly as well as explicitly, and children pick up a lot through osmosis. Yes, there are some reverent N.O. Masses, but that is far from the standard. Catholic families deserve better.</p><p>There is some question on the legality of the excommunications, like there was in 1988, and that will resolve itself with time, no doubt. But for now, let us pray for a reunited Church. As Christ prayed that we are all one, as He is one with the Father. (John 17:20-23)</p><p>And remember, Saints Joan of Arc, Mary MacKillop, Athanasius of Alexandria, and Columba were excommunicated, too. Excommunication does not necessarily mean permanent separation.</p><p>Pray for the SSPX. Her clergy and her faithful members.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.calvinrobinson.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">This Substack is reader-supported.

Rupert Lowe&#8217;s Restore Party released the Rape Gang Inquiry Report, exposing a scale of abuse which we have never seen before. </p><p>The Rape Gang Inquiry Report demonstrates that girls as young as 11 were regularly and systematically groomed, drugged, raped and tortured. On occasion, they even harmed toddlers. This was happening everywhere, in at least 40% of Britain. Swept under the carpet by the authorities. Perpetrators were primarily Mohammedan men, mostly of Pakistani origin. Islamic culture and theology enabled this. We should never have allowed such a dangerous ideology into our country.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.calvinrobinson.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">This Substack is reader-supported.

Whistleblowers faced retaliation, were silenced and/or arrested. They were discredited, and their careers were ruined for pointing out basic pattern recognition. Police ignored reports, destroyed evidence, and released suspects. Social services placed girls in exploitative environments and undermined parents. Institutions such as the NHS and schools, and licensed companies such as taxi firms, recorded abuse but took no action. They even renewed licences for known perpetrators. Politicians were sometimes in denial, sometimes they outright covered all this up for the sake of multiculturalism. Everyone complicit in the cover-up should be arrested and charged, post-haste.</p><p>Young girls were not just trafficked nationally/internationally; they were raped in cars, graveyards, hotels; subjected to extreme violence, objects were inserted into them, they were force-raped by dogs whilst Mohammedans filmed.</p><p>Deportation is no longer enough. These animals need the Biblical millstone treatment from Matthew 18:6.</p><p>What makes matters worse is that hundreds of illegal Mohammedan men crossed the Channel again this week. The authorities continue to do nothing. Why we have not taken the Australian approach and dispatched gunboats, I do not know. Great Britain is an island, for goodness sake, there is no excuse for the continued invasion by hostile military-age men.</p><p>Something has to be done, and soon. We owe our girls better than this.</p><p>For those who have already been wronged, justice must prevail. But for those who remain innocent, we must do all we can to protect them from the same fate. If the Establishment will not, it falls upon British men to step up.</p><p>I encourage you all to<a href="https://t.co/EuKgGWBRhS"> read the report</a>. It has changed me. Let it change you, too. We cannot go on like this.</p><p>And despite all this, the British public still voted Labour in the by-election on Thursday in Makerfield. The same party which purposefully began mass migration to Britain, the same party responsible for the cover-up of the &#8220;grooming gangs&#8221;. The same party whose politicians were named and shamed as being active participants in the gang-rape of these young white British girls. What is it going to take for people to wake up? I understand there is an entire generation that still gets its news from the legacy media, and the BBC has refused to cover this scandal, but still, ignorance is no excuse at this point.</p><p>As for the BBC, we all know why they refused to cover the greatest child sex abuse scandal in the history of our country, because the BBC is institutionally paedophilic. Jimmy Saville, Stuart Hall, Rolf Harris, Gary Glitter, Huw Edwards, Peter Rowell, these are just a few of the paedo coverups and scandals perpetrated at the BBC in recent years. The BBC needs defunding. But we also have to do a better job as independent media of reaching those who still rely on the mainstream media for their information.</p><p>We have a country to save, and it is going to take all of us. Men need to become men again. I am shocked to the core that the largest-scale rape endemic in history has just been exposed, and nothing has happened. Likewise, in the U.S., Epstein&#8217;s co-conspirators remain unpunished. Ghislaine Maxwell was found guilty of child sex trafficking, but there were apparently no perpetrators to charge?! The whole thing stinks. The paedophilic elite continue to cover their own backs, and we continue to let them. Two hundred and fifty years ago, the Americans led a revolution for far less, ditching the English establishment. Not long after that, the French introduced their elite to the guillotine. Today, we sit around, tweet on X about how awful everything is, continue sipping our fancy coffee, and see who is winning in the World Cup. Bread and circuses&#8230; shame on all of us.</p><p>Where is the righteous indignation? And how are we going to channel it?

Unfortunately, I have been replaced on the panel with Jewish commentator, Jonathan Sacerdoti. No doubt it will still be an interesting conversation. I am just disappointed there will not be a traditional Christian perspective - it seems they are going down more of a &#8220;Judeo-Christian&#8221; direction. It is a shame to see the only Catholic arguing for the other side, but that is no doubt a sign of the times.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

It seems Britain has become institutionally racist against white Britons.</p><p>&#8220;Diversity, equity and inclusion&#8221; kills. An effeminate HR culture has pushed the idea of social cohesion at all costs, making apparent racism a worse crime than murder. This has developed into a two-tier system where ethnic minorities are privileged due to their perceived oppression in a predominantly white country, where being white is seen as a negative. Every other culture is celebrated except British, English, Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish cultures. And every other demographic group is a protected characteristic except for white people, Christians, Britons and heterosexual men.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.calvinrobinson.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">This Substack is reader-supported.

One of the greatest societies in human history - arguably the greatest empire in modern history - is being led down the pan by a metropolitan liberal elite only looking out for their own vested interests.

Christianity is already on the decline, no longer being the predominant faith for the first time in over a thousand years.</p><p>The problem is huge, but too many are still afraid of even addressing it.

Men and women are not interchangeable. We are equal in terms of dignity and worth in the eyes of God, but we are not equal in role or ability. We are meant to be hierarchical. God&#8217;s good order is hierarchical. God the Father is the ultimate patriarch, and men are submissive to His authority, as wives are submissive to their husbands, and children to their mother. A radical concept in modernity, captured by feminism, but <a href="https://x.com/realJennaEllis">Jenna Ellis</a> outlines this and inter-racial marriages from a Christian perspective.

href="https://www.oxford.anglican.org/news/faith-leaders-statement-on-oxford-union-invitation-to-tommy-robinson.php">letter</a> with a local Imam, as &#8220;co-chairs&#8221; of the Oxfordshire Faith and Civic Leaders Forum and the Thames Valley Faith and Civic Leaders Forum.</p><p>Christianity is the one true religion. Islam is a post-Christian heresy. To pretend the two are equal suggests they are mutually true, and therefore promotes the heresy of pluralism.</p><p>&#8220;Bishop&#8221; Croft demonstrates incorrect priorities, showing how worldly and inverted his faith is. Any true Christian shepherd in Britain should be concerned about the rapid growth and seemingly unstoppable rise of Islam in our country. To be &#8220;disturbed and saddened&#8221; by an invitation to have a conversation on the topic shows he either fears the world more than he fears God or has lost his way. Or worse, that he is a wolf in sheep&#8217;s clothing.</p><p>Christianity teaches that Jesus Christ is <em>the</em> way. Not <em>a </em>way<em>. </em>Not<em> one way among many,</em> but the way, the truth and the life. The objective universal truth. The faith teaches that the only way to the Father is through the Son.</p><p>Croft cited a shooting in a foreign country as an argument as to why a conversation cannot be had in ours. Not only is this a flawed argument, but it is also an appeal to guilt by association, not exactly a Christian principle. Tensions are rising in Britain due to the incompatible worldviews between Christians and Mohammedans. There is a spiritual battle going on for Christendom. In centuries gone by, Bishops have led the charge against the Islamic invasion - now, they fight for the other side.</p><p>The debate to be had was on the question of &#8220;<em>This House believes the West is Right to be Suspicious of Islam</em>&#8221;; to paint this as &#8216;hatred&#8217; is disingenuous and woke. Disagreement is not hatred, questioning is not hatred, suspicion is not hatred.</p><p>Croft also attempts to conflate religion with race. He paints the premise as racist. To be concerned about our Christian country becoming more Islamic is not racist, because Islam is not a race, but even if it were, that would be a matter of self-preservation and self-defence. Why are other nations entitled to self-determination but not us?</p><p>As with all liberals, Croft bemoans that the whole thing is stoking &#8216;division.&#8217; This is one point we agree on. But division is not inherently bad. Jesus Christ is the most divisive man in history - he is our judge and will one day ultimately divide us between heaven and hell for all eternity (Matthew 25:31-34, 41, 46 &amp; John 5:22-23, 27-30). Whilst here on earth as God incarnate - fully God yet fully man - He taught that He came to divide mother from daughter, father from son (Matthew 10:34-36 &amp; Luke 12:51-53); He also told us He would separate the wheat from the chaff (Matthew 3:11-12 &amp; 13:24-30, 36-43). He could not have been more explicit when he said, &#8220;Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division&#8221; (Luke 12:51). We are either with Him, or against Him (Matthew 12:30). Christian faith leaders should be separating the truth from falsehoods, the one true faith from false ideologies. Pretending all faith is good presents the idea that all religions are salvific. Which raises the question, who/what does Croft believe in?</p><p>The so-called Bishop of Oxford retires this weekend. It seems he wanted to get one last jab in before he left. Croft has a long history of being a progressive Leftist. For instance, in recent years, he became the most senior member of the Church of England to support same-sex marriage, which is obviously contrary to Christian teaching, which is that marriage is a lifelong, indissoluble union between one man and one woman.</p><p>As a high-ranking member of the Established Church, the State Church at that, Croft is yet another Establishment shill putting pressure on the students at the Oxford Union. In his joint statement, he is subordinating the truth and Free Speech to a subjective sense of &#8216;safety&#8217; and feelings. This is the kind of effeminate response one would expect from a hard Left activist, not a supposed Bishop in the Church of God.</p><p>Instead of aligning with Mohammedans against the few Christians willing to speak the truth plainly, he should be evangelising Mohammedans and leading them to Christ. Croft is clearly betraying the second-greatest commandment, to love our neighbour, because no one who loves someone would neglect to lead them toward salvation and instead actively lead them toward damnation. Either Croft does not believe, or he is working for the other side.</p><p>Pray for a bold and courageous successor to be selected. Although, looking at the current state of the Church of England, the pickings are slim.</p><p>False peace is no true peace at all. We are at war, whether Croft wants to admit it or not, for the very soul of our country. True peace can only be found in ordered submission to Christ and His Church. Pax Christi.</p><p>I will be speaking on this very topic at the <a href="https://newchristianright.com/conference/">Christ is King conference in Texas</a>, later this year, alongside Dale Partridge, Harrisson Smith, J.

So, when I was re-invited earlier this year, I took more time to seriously consider the invitation. When I heard my friends and fellow patriots Laurence Fox and Tommy Robinson were also joining the team, my arm was twisted. We would be debating, &#8220;<em>This House believes the West is Right to be Suspicious of Islam.</em>&#8221; This time we were on the side of the house. We were still expecting a hostile audience, and I was still expecting us to be massively outvoted - although Laurence and Tommy seemed more optimistic of our chances - but it would be fun nonetheless, and an important topic for us to add our voices to. So, I booked my tickets back home to Blighty and arranged a hotel in Oxford, all at my own expense, I might add, only to be told the event was cancelled.</p><p>This will not come as a surprise to anyone who has been keeping tabs on British politics. Our Government - both Labour and the Conservatives consecutively - have been pushing for &#8216;Islamophobia&#8217; laws for some time now, which essentially amounts to Islamic blasphemy laws. Islam is gradually taking over our nation. I believe the population of Mohammedans is currently around 6% and growing rapidly. Liberals will use this number as some kind of defensive argument, claiming, &#8220;it&#8217;s only 6%, that&#8217;s hardly a takeover&#8221;, not realising that a critical mass is only 6.5%. Demographics are destiny, and the current projects show that by somewhere between 2050 and 2060, Britain will no longer be a majority-British country. As it stands, England is no longer a majority-Christian country, for the first time in our nation&#8217;s history. But by 2050-2060, she will be predominantly Islamic, too. Heavens forbid.</p><p>The president of the Oxford Union - a Palestinian Mohammedan and Free Speech advocate - called to let us know that Thames Valley Police were putting roadblocks in the way. Not literally, as is their job, but metaphorically, doing what they can to prevent the event from going ahead. They claimed it would cost &#163;80,000 in fees to organise security for the evening. Laurence stepped in and offered for his organisation to pay these fees, as he is one of Britain&#8217;s most outspoken Free Speech campaigners. Clearly unhappy that their obfuscation had been unsuccessful, TVP strongly encouraged the OU to move the debate, which is traditionally held on Thursdays, to the following Monday. The OU were happy to comply. The event was back on again. Those of us coming from the US had to adjust our travel arrangements accordingly. </p><p>Then, Thames Valley Police made another attempt to thwart the event. They teamed up with Oxford City Council to put pressure on the poor students, organising what would be their biggest event in a long time. TVP and the Oxford Council said the event would have to be outright cancelled because it would be too inconvenient; they may have to reroute traffic, etc., for security reasons. Is that not their job?</p><p>The Oxford Union is the oldest debating society in the world, founded in 1823, when discussing politics and religion were prohibited at the University of Oxford. This house has a longstanding tradition of defending free speech and open debate in Britain, despite the Establishment.</p><p>It seems to me that the Establishment is terrified of what might happen. And that only highlights the importance of this particular topic of debate. People are genuinely petrified of wild Mohammedans going on a vengeful rampage, or as the legacy media would put it, &#8220;mental health issues&#8221; and/or &#8220;unclear motive&#8221;. Could asking the question &#8220;<em>This House believes the West is Right to be Suspicious of Islam</em>&#8221; cause us to be martyred by followers of the &#8220;religion of peace&#8221;? Surely not. Just because the infamous warmonger Mohammed spread his ideology through warfare, intimidation, subjugation, deception, and barbarism does not mean his followers necessarily would.</p><p>It could be that the Establishment is more afraid of backlash from the permanently offended Left. It may be that those who are offended on behalf of others are complaining as usual. We know protests were planned for 28th May, which would have been fine as the event had been moved to 1st June. Let them protest against an empty hall, and stop being bent by the will of the mob.</p><p>The Police Commissioner informed the president of the Oxford Union that they would have to release a statement that the event had been cancelled. She complied under pressure from her peers and higher-ups, who were worried about souring the Union&#8217;s relationship with the police and the council, which is understandable but would definitely undermine the very premise of the Union. However, upon sending a draft statement to the authorities, the president received an edited version that removed any inference that the decision was made by the police and the council. In fact, the new statement said something along the lines of the OU should not have taken on such an event in the first place, and they wanted to thank the Thames Valley Police and local Council for their support. The chutzpah! Thankfully, the current president, being an advocate of Free Speech, pushed back against this blatant bullying. The response from the Commissioner was that they were not ordering the Union to cancel the event, but were strongly advising them to do so. To which the president realised she was being manipulated rather than ordered, and so pushed back in return. Lastly, the police and council told the Union they could hold the event, but only if it was held on or around the last day of Trinity Term. Of course, this would mean no students would be available to attend, as they would have mostly gone home once their classes were wrapped up. The Establishment is playing games, trying to prevent me, Laurence Fox and Tommy Robinson from debating the critical topic of Islam and its place in Britain. It seems they have already decided the answer, that we should not be suspicious of Islam. And if we are, we must do so silently. If this cannot be debated at the Oxford Union, where can it be debated?</p><p>At one point, Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg stepped in as a trustee of the Oxford Union. He joined the opposing side of the debate, arguing that we should not be suspicious of Islam, which I see as shameful for a Catholic, but admirable for a proponent of Free Speech. It was his impression that the authorities could not bully the students into submission if he - a high-profile former government minister - was involved. Unfortunately, he was as wrong on this as he has been about a great many things regarding the shape of our country lately.</p><p>In Britain, we should be able to debate all ideas. Why is this particular ideology off the table? Not to protect Islam from civil debate, but to protect us from the Mohammedan reaction to civil debate, which is generally not civil at all.</p><p>How many times have I covered stories of Christians who have been arrested for criticising Islam? Or worse, just for quoting the Bible and Mohammedans taking offence at them doing so. It is almost as if we have a two-tiered system in this so-called Christian country, where Islam has become a protected class.</p><p>Megyn Kelly has kindly offered to host the debate on her show. I am hopeful that this conversation is had publicly, and that in doing so we can encourage others in Britain to push back against the heavy-handed state censorship, Islamic blasphemy laws, and Islam itself.</p><p>Sometimes, it feels like Islam has already taken over our political class. </p><p>As it happens, we are talking about this precise problem on my Next Crusade this week, with my excellent guests Paul Weston and Brenna Morella discussing how Islam took over Britain, and how it is trying to do the same in America.</p><p><strong>The Next Crusade - Episode Four:

If we are neither a Christian society nor a liberal democracy, what are we?! A technocracy of the global elite, by the sounds of it.</p><p>Euthanasia bills are on the rise, and abortion is constantly being liberalised; we have no respect for the dignity of human life. Our elected representatives have forgotten that we are made in the image of God, probably because they want to play gods. Both the EU and the US announced this week that they&#8217;re requiring car manufacturers to introduce Big Brother tech in new vehicles, meaning all new cars will have devices that monitor the driver&#8217;s behaviour. In the EU,  this will be limited to internal cameras watching the driver with eye-tracking software and behaviour monitoring. In the US, this will include a &#8216;kill switch&#8217; that allows the car to disable itself if the driver is deemed &#8216;impaired.&#8217; There is no doubt the market will push this authoritarian tech on Britain, too.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.calvinrobinson.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">This Substack is reader-supported.

In the communist West, not only does the car drive you, but it also tells you whether you are allowed to drive. </p><p>Forgive me for being old-fashioned, but I want to live in a country where babies are cherished; the vulnerable are looked after, not bumped off for being a burden; and where a man can drive his car in peace, without KITT having a say on whether we can move or not.</p><p>The West is going to pot. The culture of death shows no sign of slowing down, and the technocracy is ramping up at full speed. All the while, Islam is gaining a foothold. Already the fastest-growing religion in Britain, and the fastest-growing religion in a majority of US states, Christendom will soon be an Islamic caliphate unless we do something about it. This is not an opinion or mere speculation; this is demographic statistics.</p><p>And so for all those reasons, and many more, I have decided to relaunch my Crusade.</p><p>What began on Talk Radio, migrated to television with GB News, and was then taken online with the Lotus Eaters, is coming back even stronger.</p><p>Starting next week, my Common Sense Crusade will be livestreamed on Wednesdays at 7pm British Summer Time and 2pm Eastern Time on my personal YouTube page, which still carries the name <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@CommonSenseCrusade">Bros with Fros</a> and can be found at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@CommonSenseCrusade">YouTube.com/@CommonSenseCrusade</a>. We will be hosting an exclusive after-show especially for you, too, with the Substack stream right here on <a href="https://www.calvinrobinson.com/">CalvinRobinson.com</a>.</p><p>Then, on Thursdays at 5pm Eastern Time (10pm BST), we will be hosting the Next Crusade over at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@NXRStudios">NXR Studio</a> - I have joined the fantastic team at the New Christian Right to fight these culture wars together.

We will be exploring what it is about them we should be following as Christians, looking to their example, and we will end each show in prayer.</p><p>That is a lot, and that is not all. I have been writing a book, The Silent Jihad, which will expose the mess of Islam, how it has almost entirely captured the West, and how Britain and America will soon be lost unless we wake up and get

I do not think it is hyperbolic to say that things will never be the same again.</p><p>A week ago, we learned that conservative broadcaster and Christian leader Charlie Kirk had been shot. I have no doubt we will all remember where we were that day. I remember bluntly but as politely as I could, shutting down any speculation in group chats about Charlie being dead, and requesting people pray for his well-being. I dropped what I was doing and led an online rosary session from a cafe in Austin, Texas, to pray for Charlie&#8217;s health and for strength for his family. What a tense few hours they were.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.calvinrobinson.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">This Substack is reader-supported.

He stuck his head above the parapet, and those of us who do that for the truth understand that this may one day be an unfortunate outcome. For me, the biggest shock was that he was not healed. I fully expected a miracle, without a shadow of a doubt. What I did not know at the time was that God would indeed perform a miracle through Charlie, but it was not more time on earth. Charlie was called home, and the Lord used that to inspire millions of people back to the faith. Charlie led people to Christ through his life and death.</p><p>The reason I have waited a couple of weeks to write about this is that I have been quite lost for words. I feel like we have all been on an emotional roller coaster. I knew Charlie, I admired Charlie, and he was my friend. My English sensibilities make it difficult to talk about such things - this is one of those cultural differences we have with our American cousins. We English are more reserved about these things. But it is important that we celebrate these friendships, and Charlie left behind a legacy that we can all learn from. He set a good example of how to practice what we preach. I did try to find some of the photographs we took together, remembering them very vividly, but it occurred to me that they may have been on Charlie&#8217;s phone. I will never forget when I moved to the United States, Charlie looked up over his salad (I am not sure it is well-known how pro-MAHA Charlie was - he only ate protein, healthy fats and fruit), and he said to me, &#8220;It&#8217;s so great that you&#8217;re here now. You&#8217;re going to be so big in America.&#8221; I smiled politely and tried to hide my apprehension, but he must have sensed me wince, or he knew how such a statement would make me feel, because he followed up with, &#8220;for all the right reasons. Your platform will expand your mission for Christ.&#8221; That Christ-centred approach was typical of Charlie. In our circles of conservative commentators, there are many people who are ambitious for fame and fortune, but he was not one of them. He knew the temptations to sin and wanted only to grow his platform to spread the truth. That is a worldview we shared. I had been on <a href="https://thecharliekirkshow.com/podcasts/the-charlie-kirk-show/is-britains-present-americas-future-ft-calvin-robi">Charlie&#8217;s show</a> <a href="https://thecharliekirkshow.com/podcasts/the-charlie-kirk-show/re-evangelizing-britain-with-calvin-robinson-and-s">a number of times</a>, and he invited me to speak more regularly at his events, such as AMFest. This was another sign of his broad view of the Church. As an Anglican deacon and later an Old Catholic priest, I was often the most catholic speaker at these events, particularly the Turning Point Faith events. Among a sea of skinny jeans, there would be me in my black suit and clerical collar. But we share a common belief in the power of the Gospel, and that is all that matters. Through our baptism, we are all brethren in Christ.</p><div id="youtube2-PjWqZgSiUNk" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;PjWqZgSiUNk&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/PjWqZgSiUNk?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>Upon Charlie&#8217;s return to the US from a recent visit to Britain, where he was hosted by our mutual friend Dr James Orr, Charlie texted me to affirm what I had been saying for so long. That the United Kingdom is suffering from a pincer attack, &#8220;The combination of Islam and Marxism.&#8221;  You&#8217;ll notice he started talking more openly about the evils of Islam, its incompatibility with Christian values,  and its infestation in the West. God bless him for that, because it is not a fashionable talking point. But when one is focused on the truth, one does not mind being called an Islamophobe. There is nothing irrational about a fear of Islam conquering Christendom, country by country.</p><div id="youtube2-bAiNFV_XfhQ" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;bAiNFV_XfhQ&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/bAiNFV_XfhQ?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>I would like to take a moment to thank Charlie once again for his efforts in raising awareness of Lucy Connolly&#8217;s case, too. An important one for Free Speech, and one that the British Establishment would rather have gone unheard. &#8220;I am glad I am leaving and going back to America,&#8221; he would text.</p><p>The land of the free, the home of the brave. Unfortunately, freedom does not mean safety. And Charlie&#8217;s work put him directly in the line of fire. Some people cannot stand to hear a difference of opinion. Some people are so lost that if we do not conform to their reality, they feel the need to delete us from it. These people do not need affirming in their sin; they need leading away from it. That is part of what Charlie did with his college ministry - and it was a ministry. He debated with people, but he also preached the Gospel to them, which is something we all must do more of.</p><p>He listened to people. And yet, they shot him for it.</p><p>I did not sleep for a couple of nights after that. And going by the responses to my tweets, I do not think many did. The spiritual rift was almost tangible. &#8220;For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.&#8221;</p><p>9/11 is always an awful day, but it was especially so this year. It serves as a reminder that evil is a real presence. We must never forget that. Charlie Kirk was a white conservative Christian, a husband and a father&#8212;everything the enemy hates. The enemy has spent a long time attacking people like Charlie, but a fortnight ago, Satan overplayed his hand. The demons may be celebrating, for now. But they are about to be on the defensive. Watch and see. Christendom is awake. It does not matter which tool of the enemy was used to kill Charlie, be it Islam, wokeism, liberal Judaism; they are all about to be defeated. Charlie spoke often about that pincer movement between Islam and woke, and he recently started to speak out about the impact of liberal Jews on our society. All three heads of the dragon are evil. These wicked ideologies are on the way out. They have no place in a Christian society. Christ died for us, and in doing so, He conquered death, so we have nothing to fear. The enemy does. Death is not the end for Christians; it is merely the beginning. We will fight lies with truth. The enemy no longer gets to monopolise the public conversation. The enemy no longer gets to warp reality. The truth is objective, universal, and the enemy is about to find out that Christ is King.</p><p>September 10 2025 was a turning point. They killed the moderate right. What comes next will not be pretty. Maranatha!</p><p>If you are struggling with shock, anger, or sadness as a result of Charlie&#8217;s assassination, go to church. Spend some time in prayer with the Lord. If you are not usually the church-going type, that does not matter. Be present, be silent, listen for His voice. He is with you in your suffering.</p><p>We do not cower. We do not back down. We double down. We do not resort to their wicked ways. We conquer evil. We promote the good. &#8220;Do not make peace with evil, destroy it.&#8221;</p><p>And the demons really were celebrating. I will not give them the benefit of sharing their videos here, but I am sure many of you have seen them. The contorted faces of the possessed, celebrating the death of a father to two small children, simply because they did not share his worldview. But the darkness they spread is becoming irrelevant as the light shines upon it, &#8220;the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.&#8221;</p><p>And the darkness really is spreading. Charlie was killed only a few days after the Minneapolis school shooting, where innocent children were gunned down by a man who drew his own reflection as a demon looking back at him. And this, likewise, was only days before poor Iryna Zarutska was stabbed on public transport, the 23-year-old blonde Ukrainian refugee killed for being white, by a violent black man captured by racial grievance politics.</p><p>There is so much evil in the world right now that people who are not usually in touch with the spiritual are seeing it. And God can turn that to good, as He does with all things. Because the more the enemy exposes himself, the more people start to question if there is an alternative. If they experience evil firsthand, people start to look for goodness as an escape. God is there, waiting. Let us pray that people turn to Him.</p><p>But we must do more than pray. We must also put in the work. The enemy has been busy whispering in people&#8217;s ears like the serpent that he is. Every time someone attacks a conservative or a Christian, calling us racist, homophobic, transphobic, misogynistic, Nazis or fascists, they are dehumanising us. Every time they do that, they are wishing us dead. This ideology is clearly either evil, not just a mental illness. </p><p>Every legacy media outlet that has allowed pundits to call us those names for holding conservative/Christian views is complicit in the death of Charlie Kirk. We have to override their toxic dialogue now. They cannot be allowed to continue to sow their harmful, murderous ideology unchecked.</p><p>Everyone who is celebrating Charlie&#8217;s death deserves to lose their job. He was a father and husband. It is wicked. It was great to see people tracking them down and reporting them for indecent behaviour. I absolutely stand by the position that we should cancel the lot of them! And they can call it &#8220;woke right&#8221; if they like. I do not care. They created &#8220;cancel culture&#8221;; now they must reap the consequences. The difference is, they cancel us for speaking the truth, whereas we want to stop them from killing and celebrating killing. The two are not the same. It has been highlighted that when their idol, George Floyd, was killed, they set the streets ablaze and rioted, spreading violence and terror. When our hero, Charlie Kirk, was killed, we set up prayer vigils. We are not the same.</p><p>We need to protect ourselves and our loved ones from their darkness. I propose we find ways to only hire people who share your values. British/American values, Christian values. Do not hire people who subscribe to evil ideologies, who want you dead.</p><p>Remember, compassion does not equal affirmation, and ideologies are not people. We are called to hate the sin but love the sinner. If we truly love our neighbour, we will guide them away from transgenderism, Islam, racial victimhood complexes, and toward the loving truth of Jesus Christ.</p><p>Charlie&#8217;s death has struck a chord in many people&#8217;s hearts. Everyone can see themselves in him, because he was one of us. And the way he was killed, on his mission, with some of his last words being those of the name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, I truly believe he died the death of a martyr. There is certainly a case to be made. I do not believe the Catholic Church has ever formally canonised anyone outside of the Catholic or Orthodox Churches, but she has recognised and venerated martyrs.</p><p>And we are already seeing the good fruits of his martyrdom. I met a young couple at a memorial in Michigan who are joining the Catholic Church (OCIA). I also met a young chap called Ryan, who went to church for the first time as a result. Charlie&#8217;s martyrdom is having an impact on Gen Z.</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;As for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today.&#8221; Genesis 50:20</p><p> &#8220;We know that in everything God works for good with those who love him, who are called according to his purpose.&#8221; Romans 8:28</p></blockquote><p>And then there is the memorial service. I was sorry not to be able to make it, but I was saying Mass with my parish. You can view the Mass we offered for Charlie on my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@CommonSenseCrusade/">YouTube</a>.</p><div id="youtube2-TKKtja0mvjI" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;TKKtja0mvjI&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/TKKtja0mvjI?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>Or, if you would prefer, you can watch the Sermon alone:</p><div id="youtube2-N4wKfHIjxUQ" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;N4wKfHIjxUQ&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/N4wKfHIjxUQ?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>Prior to the memorial in Phoenix, I had the worst restless night since the shooting. I prayed the memorial went well today, without incident. I was concerned that most of the country&#8217;s conservative and Christian leaders were meeting under one roof. The world could have been made a much darker place with a single explosion. But afterwards, I was on a complete high. After watching a 5.5-hour stream with my parishioners and the local Turning Point chapter, I was buzzing like I had just left church. God was present in that place. He was edified, glorified, and boldly proclaimed to the world. God cannot be stopped. Christian nationalism is here. Leftism/liberalism/wokeism, whatever you will call it, is finished. An entire country has been rejuvenated and evangelised at the same time. All for the greater glory of God.</p><p>Every single speaker spoke of Christ. Everyone mentioned Christianity. Most speakers, politicians at that, proclaimed the Gospel. I have never seen anything like it in my life. As Vice President JD Vance remarked, he is usually shy about talking about his faith in public, but no longer. Something has shifted. </p><p>For anyone watching, you could visibly see Secretary of State Marco Rubio&#8217;s whole demeanour change in the last 70 seconds of his speech when he spoke of Christ&#8217;s passion, death and resurrection.

Wow. Firstly, she set out a great example of femininity, of womanhood, highlighting the importance of being a good mother and wife, of preparing a home, of loving, supporting and being obedient to her husband. All very counter-cultural in today&#8217;s world. As her speech went on, I was watching almost hand-in-mouth as her face turned from anger to sadness, and it seemed she was about to say something monumental. I asked the room, &#8220;She&#8217;s going to offer forgiveness, isn&#8217;t she?&#8221; in disbelief. And lo and behold, she did. Mrs Kirk forgave her husband&#8217;s killer, there and then. Forgiveness at this time, in the midst of grief, is so powerful. Erika is exemplifying a Christ-like attitude. God bless her for that.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!51hQ!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5146db21-3f09-4939-abfd-8d33ed2dc1a2_1179x1243.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!51hQ!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5146db21-3f09-4939-abfd-8d33ed2dc1a2_1179x1243.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!51hQ!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5146db21-3f09-4939-abfd-8d33ed2dc1a2_1179x1243.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!51hQ!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5146db21-3f09-4939-abfd-8d33ed2dc1a2_1179x1243.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!51hQ!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5146db21-3f09-4939-abfd-8d33ed2dc1a2_1179x1243.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!51hQ!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5146db21-3f09-4939-abfd-8d33ed2dc1a2_1179x1243.jpeg" width="1179" height="1243" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/5146db21-3f09-4939-abfd-8d33ed2dc1a2_1179x1243.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:1243,&quot;width&quot;:1179,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Image&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="Image" title="Image" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!51hQ!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5146db21-3f09-4939-abfd-8d33ed2dc1a2_1179x1243.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!51hQ!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5146db21-3f09-4939-abfd-8d33ed2dc1a2_1179x1243.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!51hQ!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5146db21-3f09-4939-abfd-8d33ed2dc1a2_1179x1243.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!51hQ!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5146db21-3f09-4939-abfd-8d33ed2dc1a2_1179x1243.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>President Trump offered a different stance, however, and rightly so.

We all have a duty to pick up that bloody microphone and continue Charlie&#8217;s mission.

As the clock struck 7pm, the heavens opened and we were absolutely drenched with rain, like pathetic fallacy. But we were not deterred. After moving indoors, I noticed the warmth matched that I felt in London after the passing to glory of Her Majesty the Queen. People are being brought together out of sadness for the loss of a person they felt they knew, someone they identified with in some way.

Yesterday, we livestreamed the last <a href="https://www.lotuseaters.com/category/common-sense-crusade">Common Sense Crusade</a> for some time. The show is going on hiatus until my eventual return to Britain.</p><p>Starting out on TalkRadio as a segment on Cristo Foufas&#8217; Saturday morning show, my Common Sense Crusade began as an attempt to bring a moment of clarity to an ever-increasingly mad world. One of the most memorable moments was when Black Lives Matter activist Ken Hinds tried to tell me that as a mixed-race man, I must support Meghan Markle, because she is &#8220;one of [my] own.&#8221; Suffice it to say, that did not go down well!</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.calvinrobinson.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">This Substack is reader-supported.

These days, the current Archbishop of the Anglican Church in North America, Steve Woods, prefers to put out statements libellously implying that I am an anti-Semite. But back then, the former Archbishop Foley Beach was a good man whom I had a lot of time for. <a href="https://youtu.be/4nM4UgjEkLw?si=8A3wU9NpAW4xROPn">You can watch our interview following the launch of a new diocese in Australia on my YouTube channel</a>.</p><p>I was the first to call out the <a href="https://youtu.be/JQlPDaQOMM8?si=tdc4aFfLkJt1XqrV">World Economic Forum (WEF)</a> on air. When I watch <a href="https://youtu.be/JQlPDaQOMM8?si=tdc4aFfLkJt1XqrV">that monologue</a> back, I can see the tensions at play. I had to be extremely careful with my wording to get this past the liberal producers and overly cautious lawyers. But it was an important conversation to be had when there is a bunch of mostly unelected elites dictating global policy.</p><p>One of my first - if not the first - monologues was about the Pakistani Moslem rape gangs. An awful atrocity that it was vital to cover, but again, I had to fight tooth and nail to get the conversation on air. Those days were more challenging than viewers would assume. The home of &#8216;free speech&#8217; was more of a controlled opposition all along, but more on that next year. One day, I will talk about the anti-Christian attitudes from upper management and how they tried everything they could to remove elements of Christianity from my Christian TV show. At present, I am not legally allowed. That day will come.</p><div class="native-video-embed" data-component-name="VideoPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;5457c7db-0c69-43ad-b0da-349a56f843b4&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:null}"></div><p>The sad thing is, I am still monologuing about the Pakistani Moslem rape gangs. They are still going on. Young British girls are still being groomed and raped by Pakistani Moslem men who see them as less-than-human, and our Establishment continues to cover it up. From the local councillors, to the social services, the police forces and members of the Houses of Parliament. Shame on every single one of them. A demographic that makes up 4% of the population is responsible for 65% of the child sexual abuse, and no one wants to do anything about it; they would rather prioritise &#8216;diversity&#8217; and &#8216;inclusion&#8217;. Disgusting.</p><p>When I left Britain, Carl Benjamin kindly gave me a slot to broadcast my show on his platform, the Lotus Eaters, and the Crusade continued from there.</p><div class="native-video-embed" data-component-name="VideoPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;0908a933-14a0-461a-9d1e-ae3c68e7eb8f&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:null}"></div><p>Comparing those two &#8216;Grooming Gang&#8217; videos really shows how long I have been at this. I may have started out young, vibrant and optimistic, but I am becoming jaded in my relatively old age. The afro and beard are not the only changes. This battle takes a toll on you, especially when you cannot see positive change coming from it.</p><p>And so it is time to take a break. As Britain gets darker, I cannot spend all my time talking about that darkness, even to expose it. It is my calling to spread the light - the Good News. If/when I return to Britain, I will pick up the Crusade, and hopefully, the conversation will have moved on by then. There were practical difficulties, too, being in the United States streaming through the Lotus Eaters HQ in Swindon - timezone constraints, etc. And even though the production team at GB News were mostly liberal, it does help having a team - doing it on your own is impractical. You need people to bounce ideas around with.</p><p>My show with Laurence Fox will continue. We are back for a third series. Fox &amp; Father has taken less of a political angle this season, for the same reasons. There are only so many things one can say about the evils of Sir Keir Starmer and Sadiq Khan before a) you start to repeat yourself and b) it starts to get to you. And so, we are talking about more interesting themes than political topics, this time around. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RthfqlDL8kI&amp;list=PLVur7hQLBzEKAH1rZsfvYU9JmIWtr89KH">You can catch Fox &amp; Father on my YouTube channel at 7pm UK time on Sundays</a>.</p><p>You can also join us for Evensong at 8.30pm UK / 3pm ET every Sunday, and a number of clerical Crusaders and I pray online for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. And on Wednesdays, we livestream an Evensong service from St Paul&#8217;s Church in Grand Rapids at 6pm ET. These Evensong services are Evening Prayer in accordance with the Book of Common Prayer. Evensong is a treasure of the Church - this service is non-sacramental, so Christians of all traditions/denominations can join.</p><p>It wasn&#8217;t all doom and gloom on the Crusade. Some of my best bits were the one-to-one interviews, when the viewers and I got to see the real person behind the caricature. <a href="https://youtu.be/m4aVONd3YuY?si=WbwRzYJ_91-wm9_-">My interview with Tommy Robinson</a> stands out to me as one of the best episodes. I had grown up assuming Tommy was a racist because that is what the mainstream media had always reported him to be. But after the constant lies around Brexit, Covid, the Ukraine and the likes, I figured if I don&#8217;t trust the media on anything else, why would I trust them on this? I sat down with Tommy for a couple of hours and found him to be a genuinely nice chap who just passionately cares about our country. <a href="https://youtu.be/m4aVONd3YuY?si=WbwRzYJ_91-wm9_-">Give it a watch for yourself and let me know what you think in the comments</a>.</p><p>I even managed to get the political parties of the Right together to see if there was any chance they might work together. <a href="https://youtu.be/NFP1dmdT9HE?si=0GWBGsASIyxSL8Wf">UKIP, SDP, and Reclaim agreed to talk</a> for the sake of their members and the country. Reform refused to engage.</p><p>Back in the television days, the highlights for me were always the Easter and Christmas specials. Every week, we were on air discussing current events, trying to bring a Christian perspective to the madness around us. Shining a light in an ever-darkening world. But for Easter and Christmas, we were able to explicitly talk about Christ (which is surprisingly difficult on 21st-century TV). The meaning of Christmas and Easter specials made it all worthwhile.</p><p>Easter 2023: </p><div id="youtube2-fFcEvv7w4LI" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;fFcEvv7w4LI&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/fFcEvv7w4LI?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>Christmas 2022: </p><div id="youtube2-eHRaIOj7RfU" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;eHRaIOj7RfU&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/eHRaIOj7RfU?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>Easter 2022: </p><div id="youtube2-USMd2eXTxuE" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;USMd2eXTxuE&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/USMd2eXTxuE?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>Christmas 2021: </p><div id="youtube2-byca8HUFDrk" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;byca8HUFDrk&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/byca8HUFDrk?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>Some of the great guests we had on over the years, include: His Imperial and Royal Highness the Archduke of Austria, Patsy Kensit, Monsignor Nazir-Ali, Jonathan Pageau, Paul Kingsnorth, Professor Robert George, Baroness Claire Fox, Bishop Robert Barron, Jon Milbank, Rod Dreher, Sir Desmond Swayne, Tommy Robinson, Dr Taylor Marshall and many more. Jordan Peterson had agreed to come, but we could never make it work with his gatekeepers. We also had Simon Njala lined up to appear - the Ugandan Journalist who famously asked &#8220;why are you gay&#8221; - but that didn&#8217;t work out, either. Those would have been great shows, no doubt. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!g2qf!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7a9cf1d5-ade7-431e-8e90-32833913a868_500x500.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!g2qf!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7a9cf1d5-ade7-431e-8e90-32833913a868_500x500.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!g2qf!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7a9cf1d5-ade7-431e-8e90-32833913a868_500x500.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!g2qf!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7a9cf1d5-ade7-431e-8e90-32833913a868_500x500.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!g2qf!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7a9cf1d5-ade7-431e-8e90-32833913a868_500x500.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!g2qf!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7a9cf1d5-ade7-431e-8e90-32833913a868_500x500.jpeg" width="174" height="174" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/7a9cf1d5-ade7-431e-8e90-32833913a868_500x500.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:500,&quot;width&quot;:500,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:174,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Stream Why Are You Gay - By $kovZ Ft.

The vast majority of Christians in England are Anglican. <em>Anglo</em>, after all, means English - from the <em>Angles</em>.</p><p>For over 600 years, the Church in England was Catholic and in full communion with Rome. In 1534, King Henry VIII broke communion with Rome when the pope refused his annulment for political reasons*. For another 300 years, the Church of England was the only Church in England. Only in 1850 was the Roman Catholic hierarchy restored in England by Pope Pius IX. And even then, Roman Catholics were still prohibited from public processions until 1926. And so, for people born in England for nearly a millennium, the Church of England has been the default expression of the catholic faith. Anglicanism was not something new, but the continuation of Christianity in England. </p><p>Reformed Christians could argue that England&#8217;s separation from the rest of the Church was a good thing; Catholics would argue that it was a bad thing. Regardless, it is the way it has been until the last hundred years or so.</p><p>Henry VIII did not &#8216;invent&#8217; Anglicanism. Nor did he found a new Church. There is only one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, and all Anglicans affirm that fundamental tenet of the faith, which is professed as part of the liturgy.</p><div class="pullquote"><p><strong>*</strong> The Pope would not grant Henry an anulment from his wife Catherine of Aragon, not primarily for theological reasons, but because her nephew was the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. Charles V ruled Europe, and had a large influence over the pope at that time. Remember, Charles V had sacked Rome only a few years prior, and Pope Clement VII was all but under the control of the Emperor. There were some theological concerns about whether her previous marriage to Henry&#8217;s brother had been consummated or not, and therefore whether Henry&#8217;s marriage was ever valid and/or licit to begin with.</p></div><p>Do not forget, Henry VIII was an ardent Catholic. He was awarded the title &#8216;Fidei Defensor&#8217; by Pope Leo X for his theological book, Assertio Septem Sacramentorum (Defence of the Seven Sacraments), in which Henry VIII defended the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony and Papal Supremacy against the Protestant errors coming from the likes of Martin Luther.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JjwR!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2e3ede96-4dd6-4ad4-b73d-eb3116888e59_980x654.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JjwR!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2e3ede96-4dd6-4ad4-b73d-eb3116888e59_980x654.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JjwR!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2e3ede96-4dd6-4ad4-b73d-eb3116888e59_980x654.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JjwR!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2e3ede96-4dd6-4ad4-b73d-eb3116888e59_980x654.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JjwR!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2e3ede96-4dd6-4ad4-b73d-eb3116888e59_980x654.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JjwR!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2e3ede96-4dd6-4ad4-b73d-eb3116888e59_980x654.jpeg" width="980" height="654" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/2e3ede96-4dd6-4ad4-b73d-eb3116888e59_980x654.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:654,&quot;width&quot;:980,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;What Was The Reformation?

I have <a href="https://www.calvinrobinson.com/p/an-apologia-for-the-church-of-england">written before about the initial 6 Articles and 10 Ten Articles</a> of faith, which were catholic in nature. The 39 Articles were published a couple of decades later, once Protestants had more firmly embedded themselves in the Establishment. The 39 Articles should therefore be understood in the context that it was a compromise. Anglo-Catholics would interpret them through St John Henry Newman&#8217;s Tract 90. Either way, the Articles make for a great historic document, but they are not binding and certainly not doctrine. In 1972, the then Archbishop of the Church of England, ++Geoffrey Fisher, himself an evangelical, reaffirmed, &#8220;We have no doctrine of our own. We only possess the Catholic doctrine of the Catholic Church enshrined in the Catholic Creeds, and these creeds we hold without addition or diminution.&#8221; </p><div

Anglicanism as a brief stopover on the way to Rome or the East. Reformed contemporaries of mine see this as a bug. I believe this to be a feature.</p><p>I do not understand Anglican superiority. Anglicanism is not the best expression of the catholic faith; it is merely the English tradition of the catholic faith. It is beautiful and ancient, it is unique, but it is not superior to Roman Catholicism or Eastern Orthodoxy. That said, the English managed to hold onto many treasures of the Church that have been forgotten by much of the rest of the Western Church. You will still find rood screens in some old English churches, and Anglican Catholic churches will still have altar rails for congregants to receive Communion kneeling, on the tongue; you will not find &#8216;Extraordinary Eucharist Ministers&#8217;, guitars, projector screens or parishioners praying the Pater Noster with hands out in the orans position. For the most part, anyway. You will find all of those things and worse in the more evangelical arm of the Anglican Church, which is more protestant in nature. But the Anglo-Catholics, thanks to Laudianism, the Caroline Divines, and the Oxford Movement, managed to maintain much of the ancient goodness of the Anglo expression of catholicism, including influences from the Sarum Use*. Evensong is one of the greatest liturgical expressions of Evening Prayer (Vespers); it is a truly marvellous act of thanksgiving, likewise with Mattins. The Daily Office, in accordance with the Book of Common Prayer, with Anglican Chant (or even Plainchant) is a thing to behold. Divine Worship: Daily Office really embraces this tradition and leans into that extraordinary Early Modern English language that adds a touch of extra reverence to the worship.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!sP-4!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F166db221-a2a2-4974-80cf-d64fde48d5ab_1600x1347.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!sP-4!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F166db221-a2a2-4974-80cf-d64fde48d5ab_1600x1347.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!sP-4!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F166db221-a2a2-4974-80cf-d64fde48d5ab_1600x1347.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!sP-4!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F166db221-a2a2-4974-80cf-d64fde48d5ab_1600x1347.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!sP-4!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F166db221-a2a2-4974-80cf-d64fde48d5ab_1600x1347.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!sP-4!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F166db221-a2a2-4974-80cf-d64fde48d5ab_1600x1347.jpeg" width="1456" height="1226" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/166db221-a2a2-4974-80cf-d64fde48d5ab_1600x1347.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:1226,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!sP-4!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F166db221-a2a2-4974-80cf-d64fde48d5ab_1600x1347.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!sP-4!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F166db221-a2a2-4974-80cf-d64fde48d5ab_1600x1347.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!sP-4!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F166db221-a2a2-4974-80cf-d64fde48d5ab_1600x1347.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!sP-4!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F166db221-a2a2-4974-80cf-d64fde48d5ab_1600x1347.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><div class="pullquote"><p><strong>*</strong> The Sarum Use was the local adaptation of the Roman Rite. Coming out of Salisbury, and different to other English adaptations such as York Use, the Sarum Use was the predominant liturgy of England before the Reformation. Sarum had an influence on the liturgies of the Book of Common Prayer, and more so on the English Missal. Sarum Use is still technically a legal form of the Mass in the Roman Catholic Church, Anglicans still celebrate much of it through the Anglican Missal, and the Western Rite Orthodox publish a reconstructed version of it in their Saint Colman Prayer Book. <a href="http://justus.anglican.org/resources/bcp/Sarum/index.htm">A version can be read in the archives online.</a> Bear in mind, the Roman Missal (Missale Romanum) was not promulgated until 1570, after the Council of Trent. The first Book of Common Prayer was released in 1549, with the next major edition in 1552, and the final official version in 1662. In essence, the Sarum Use was a pre-TLM Roman Rite, a standardisation of the Mass for the Anglos. The Anglican Missal draws on the Sarum Use, English Missal, Book of Common Prayer and Roman Missal. We use the Anglican Missal for Sunday Mass at St Paul&#8217;s Grand Rapids. It is very common amongst Anglo-Catholics in America - less so in Britain, where they tend to use the Novus Ordo (the more contemporary post-1962 Roman Missal).</p></div><p>All that to say, Anglo-Catholicism is not a different religion. It is certainly not new. It is merely an adherence to the ancient and beautiful English expression of the catholic faith. And so, if people find Anglicanism on their way to Rome, that should not be something to sneer at. That should be something to celebrate. In a world of ugliness and darkness, if people find a glimmer of hope and beauty in our old tradition, and that leads them to the fullness of the faith, then all praise and glory be to God.</p><p>As Western Christians, we have always looked to Rome for spiritual direction, as that is the Chair of Saint Peter, the Patriarch of the West. Anglicans are not anti-Catholic or anti-Pope. Anglicans recognise the primacy of the Bishop of Rome and respect the papacy, even if they disagree with modern interpretations of Papal Infallibility (i.e. Vatican I).</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!kI_G!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F93fe5087-7dac-4e5a-8025-8f9b60628647_1061x889.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!kI_G!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F93fe5087-7dac-4e5a-8025-8f9b60628647_1061x889.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!kI_G!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F93fe5087-7dac-4e5a-8025-8f9b60628647_1061x889.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!kI_G!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F93fe5087-7dac-4e5a-8025-8f9b60628647_1061x889.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!kI_G!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F93fe5087-7dac-4e5a-8025-8f9b60628647_1061x889.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!kI_G!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F93fe5087-7dac-4e5a-8025-8f9b60628647_1061x889.png" width="1061" height="889" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/93fe5087-7dac-4e5a-8025-8f9b60628647_1061x889.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:889,&quot;width&quot;:1061,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:809739,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.calvinrobinson.com/i/169767331?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F93fe5087-7dac-4e5a-8025-8f9b60628647_1061x889.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!kI_G!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F93fe5087-7dac-4e5a-8025-8f9b60628647_1061x889.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!kI_G!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F93fe5087-7dac-4e5a-8025-8f9b60628647_1061x889.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!kI_G!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F93fe5087-7dac-4e5a-8025-8f9b60628647_1061x889.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!kI_G!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F93fe5087-7dac-4e5a-8025-8f9b60628647_1061x889.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>Anglicanism in the West is a mess.

No matter how socially liberal some boomer post-62 Novus Ordo Roman Catholics may be, they cannot change Church teaching in the same way their contemporaries in the Anglican Communion do. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!q0Dv!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff787a11b-c3ec-4572-84a0-9a163cca3d50_2056x1520.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!q0Dv!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff787a11b-c3ec-4572-84a0-9a163cca3d50_2056x1520.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!q0Dv!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff787a11b-c3ec-4572-84a0-9a163cca3d50_2056x1520.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!q0Dv!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff787a11b-c3ec-4572-84a0-9a163cca3d50_2056x1520.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!q0Dv!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff787a11b-c3ec-4572-84a0-9a163cca3d50_2056x1520.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!q0Dv!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff787a11b-c3ec-4572-84a0-9a163cca3d50_2056x1520.jpeg" width="1456" height="1076" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f787a11b-c3ec-4572-84a0-9a163cca3d50_2056x1520.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:1076,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Image&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="Image" title="Image" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!q0Dv!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff787a11b-c3ec-4572-84a0-9a163cca3d50_2056x1520.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!q0Dv!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff787a11b-c3ec-4572-84a0-9a163cca3d50_2056x1520.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!q0Dv!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff787a11b-c3ec-4572-84a0-9a163cca3d50_2056x1520.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!q0Dv!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff787a11b-c3ec-4572-84a0-9a163cca3d50_2056x1520.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>It should be our hope that the Church of England re-enters full Communion with Rome, ditching its liberalism in place of orthodox Catholicism. Making England Catholic again may actually be the only way to save our once great nation from the pincer movement of the joint attack between Islam and Marxism that is currently destroying it.</p><p>All Christians should pray for greater unity. Christ has one Church. We can disagree on what it means to be in the Church or outside of the Church, but I find it strange to besmirch fellow kingdom travellers who find a home in Rome. Likewise, for Eastern Christians who find a home in Constantinople. Crossing the Bosphorus or the Tiber is a fine thing for a Christian who started their journey as a Protestant, for we are a faith of Word <em>and Sacrament</em>, and if they pass through Anglicanism on the way, that says great things about our tradition.</p><p>Let us not hold people back or be overly protective of our little corner of the Church. Let us offer people a step up. And pray and work towards greater Christian unity.</p><blockquote><p><em>That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.</em></p><p><em>And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:</em></p><p><em>I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

Abortion is a societal problem that affects us all, men and women alike. And both men and women need to be more responsible in terms of sexual relationships. Men need to take responsibility for their actions and understand that one of the natural consequences of the marital act is that a couple may be blessed by God with children. Men need to be there for the women they have engaged in conjugal acts with. Sex is not just for pleasure - that would be the sin of fornication. God, in His great wisdom, tried to guide us in this matter. If only we would listen to Him.</p><p>It should also be pointed out that men sometimes apply pressure and/or coerce women to get abortions. This is an evil act.</p><p>But the statistical truth is that ultimately, in the vast majority of cases, abortion is predominantly used as a contraceptive by women. <a href="https://www.guttmacher.org/journals/psrh/2005/reasons-us-women-have-abortions-quantitative-and-qualitative-perspectives">Research</a> in this area shows that 74% of women who seek abortion say, "having a baby would dramatically change my life," and 73% of them say they "can't afford a baby now." The fact of the matter is, women need to stop killing their babies.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

this, just trying to acknowledge an uncomfortable fact. So, yes, men need to step up more. But often men do not get a say, and it is women who have the power to end this great genocide of our age.</p><p>Men, accept your responsibility, be fathers to the babies you create. Women, accept your responsibility, be mothers to the babies you create.</p><p>This is undoubtedly the worst genocide in human history, and it is still very much ongoing. There are roughly 73 million abortions every year. There is no word to describe this evil. We are living through an infanticide the likes of which mankind has never seen before. The ancient Aztecs had nothing on liberal women of the 20th and 21st centuries.</p><p>And before someone pipes up in the comments to try and make the exception the rule: Less than 1% of abortions are due to rape, and less than 0.5% of abortions are due to incest - both evil crimes that must also be put to an end. Regardless, the baby should never be punished for the sins of the father. But even taking those extreme circumstances into consideration and removing them from the data, that still leaves another 72 million abortions per year.</p><p>Over 72,000,000 babies are killed before they get a chance to live. Every Christian, and indeed every decent person, should be fighting for the abolition of abortion outright, everywhere. Thank God for His promise to Noah, because Lord knows we deserve a flood. It is our responsibility to be fruitful, to go forth and multiply, for the greater glory of God. What we are doing is the exact opposite.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Let us better support women so they no longer feel this is a viable option, and let us encourage men and women to get married before engaging in the marital act. A return to Christian values, away from worldly promiscuity, would go a long way toward repairing this grave error.</p><p><em>Dear Jesus, bless our social and cultural climate.
