The apathy is rampant and the remnant is in disarray; little attempt is made to use the election processes of the Church In Wales from the side of true tradition while the enemies of the Cross do not hesitate to enter the process, persuading quietly with breath-taking deception - and see how they win. They know we are idiots. Joanna's election went as smooth as butter. Look at the columns of AB.. Mea culpa. Si episcopus requiris.. <br />The election to the seat of David was provincial, no doubt, no doubt. You tell me that Joanna and Barry have not talked about the future together before the election. Of course they have. And they are talking about the future as well - now -beyond January. Bosom pals. "In America Joanna,there was ... archbishop.." Isn't it boring, birls and goys? It will be business as usual. To dream of February as a new dawn is a lazy, stupid and obscene fantasy! STOP IT NOW. Just as we must repent of our sins one by one, we must root Barry's work out, bit by bit.<br /> Those who belong to Jesus must dig in and fight and fight again for the Catholic Church that they love - whilst Joanna and Barry can hold hands as members of the Labour Party, the PLP side of course, Bryant et al.. They have a narrative and it is not ours but they want you under it-subsumed. That nasty photograph of Credo and him! makes me sick. What kind of dog eats his own vomit?<br />This is what we are failing to do. Recognising the political class in pontifical clothes. When you belong to that class, ermine does suit you. ("Oh Carwyn, I enjoyed your plaudits. \So sweet of you.")<br /> Credo Cymru don't be fooled. Stand your ground. Why on earth are you in the same photograph as the imposter? The perverse smile on his face tells it all. "Fooled you! Fooled you!". Learn and do not betray your flock; Judas' betrayal was more than enough. He that endures to the end shall be saved.<br /> The upper eschelons of the province are in the hands of the liberal elite who in private smear, slur and smirk at those who want to follow Him. How they look down on ordinary people. If only the pew-sitters could unite as the Body of Christ, the episcopal micro-managers would retreat in their inept insecurity. If the land around the Teifi and the Towy could be our Ohio! Up North they say, a bishop can pass a faithful congregation in lycra best cycling away as the congregation come out of church; no strong desire to preach the Gospel on the Lord's Day there then; how on earth have we come to this? by their cycling shall you know them. . In the west a bishop will be up in the Phd. stars contemplating a NSM episcopate, with the 'S' still intact. No wonder they feel free to abolish confirmation. All that is necessary for good to triumph over evil........ you know the rest.<br />Barry wants the glass ceiling to be broken. The puppet on a string theme will continue. Watch this space. Let us be careful, children of David and remember what has happened before... Let me give you a story. A parish had a priest who did not believe in women priests. He left. A woman priest was appointed in his place deliberately at his behest. The parish broke its heart and lost its will. The church was closed the other day.... Cambrian news headline 2023: "Due to lack of interest St David's Diocese has been cancelled." <br />In our context as children of David we do remember the meaning of the word 'Welsh' from the other side. It means, I am told, someone who stands by your side in battle. Come on , come on lets fight. Get on your knees for the glory of God and fight with Michael in prayer.<br />P.S.

Every publicity seeking epiphany has resulted in dross. After wreaking havoc over Llandaff and his gay-marriage fiasco, his last chance to get people to forget the desolation he has wrought the CinW (plus get his snout in the after-dinner speech trough & keep his mug out there "....musings of an ex-Archbishop..." to supplement the pension) was to turn his eye westward and try and make sure his legacy would be ensuring the appointment of the first female bishop in Wales. We shall see whether the tales of prejudice and discrimination she says she suffered will inspire her to fight for the rights of ALL her diverse flock to be including those excluded by the profoundly illiberal bullying bigotry of the followers of Sauron.<br /> Dickenssianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06038387443102040337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019954714374602353.post-64535017798258423242016-11-07T21:20:05.234+00:002016-11-07T21:20:05.234+00:00Perhaps His Irrelevance probably bored the Elector...Perhaps His Irrelevance probably bored the Electorate College into submission, as he does the rest of us with His sermons.<br /><br />There has never been a greater need to find a Christian leader of dignity and unquestioned impartiality. Not one who succumbs to violent seizures of temper and personal grudges when he doesn't get his own way.

The lady Canon says that "Jesus Christ .....is as relevant to Wales in the 21st Century as He has been throughout the centuries". Don't you think that the boot is on the other foot ? Jesus desires that the Church in Wales remains relevant to Him!<br />It is totally deliberate on the part of Abp. Barry to place a liberal female in a conservative diocese.<br />Please be assured that the Electoral College has no independent decision making mind : enough of the members are totally brainwashed by the Abp. for him to get his own way. It was forever thus.<br />As far as Services in Welsh are concerned,++Barry feels satisfied that ordinands leave St.Michaels College with the ability to recite the liturgy in Welsh. He has had to settle for this arrangement because there are few Welsh speakers offering themselves for ordination.Simple soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820918875811010809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019954714374602353.post-89724560568941003322016-11-07T19:02:34.352+00:002016-11-07T19:02:34.352+00:00It was written on the wall many months ago that Ca...It was written on the wall many months ago that Canon Penberthy was to be the next Bishop of St Davids.
