Homosexuals In Anglican Church Fudge
WHEN someone threatens to split your faith, you know you’re in trouble. Especially if it’s Chris Eubank.
Joking aside though, the Anglican church is facing precisely this problem.
“Clerics get classes in anger management” announces the Daily Telegraph, which reports that dozens of senior church leaders have signed up for a course on “conflict transformation” aimed at “helping them settle disputes which threaten to split their faith”.
In particular, there’s the issue of homosexuality, which has “brought the Anglican church to the brink of schism”.
It all sounds very civilized, but we wonder whether it’s all just a fancy word for fudging (“conflict resolution”, that is, not “homosexuality”).
What’s wrong with settling the matter the old-fashioned way, with no-nonsense bolt from the blue?

Wiktionary:
“fudge
(euphemism) Colloquially, used in place of fuck”
Oh, so fudging in the C of E is used in place of the other thing you’re not supposed to do with people with the same naughty bits.
What does fudging look like? Bit messy?
I’ve heard some people like the taste.

I find the word fudge in this title particularly amusing

I don’t know why religion is still taken so seriously. It’s only there to make us feel better about death. Why not just enjoy the bible stories, take comfort in the prayers and hymns, be kind, encourage faithfulness, but accept people as they are?

I can never understand why the Church of England strains at this gnat whilst swallowing the camel of their next Supreme Governor not eligible for marriage in their own Church, being an adulterer in civil marriage with another adulterer, together having destroyed their respective marriages? How do you administer a coronation oath to such a person?
I’d rather break bread with some gay couples provided they do not lie to and cheat on their spouses, then try to tell them they are crazy for imagining it.
