The Church of England loves Mugabe: Tough love, baby, tough love
One thing you can say about the Church of England: It looks for relevance the same way junkies go for a fix:
One of the most outspoken bishops in the Church of England is expected to claim that clergy who tolerate homosexuality within the church should face tougher sanctions.
Yes, sanctions. That’s working so well for Zimbabwe:
The mutilated bodies of four young men bore witness yesterday to the latest atrocities of the Mugabe regime in the run-up to next week’s elections. The victims were murdered while defending the home of a local leader of the opposition Movement for Democratic Change.
Ah well, so many idiots, so many headlines and excuses. Here’s Leonard Cohen though - and here’s two fragments from his ‘Anthem’:
“Every heart, every heart
to love will come
but like a refugee.”

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in.
