The Practical Parson

 As many Anglicans and conservative Christians have seen in the past couple of weeks, there is a cognitive dissonance between what is correct, and what is personally acceptable; summed up in the ongoing case of Rev. Calvin Robinson.   As I have touched on previously in Rev. Robinson's case, the situation of what transpired was centered entirely around his determined trolling of leftist, liberal ideologues, and their mistaken notions that everyone who thinks other than what they think is a Nazi/ fascist.  While Robinson's actions in and of themselves hold no true transgression against sense or a desire for conversation; they do transgress one of the most important duties of any ordained cleric: which is to defend the church against those who would destroy it, and to protect the people of God entrusted to our care.  While Robinson's actions have had the desired outcome he wished for in the secular scene (inspiring conversation, to some extent); they have had a neg...

 In a seemingly endlessly repeated story-line, we see headlines across the country proclaiming "books banned"; and subsequent outcry from (usually) the progressive side of politics, calling such things "un-american" and "Anti-freedom".   But what is the true issue behind the scenes here?   Well primarily speaking, virtually all of the accused "book-bans" have taken place in locations that are elementary and middle school libraries, or libraries that cater to adolescent children.  Now the progressive ideologues will go to war to proclaim that all books need to be available to all children regardless; but do they really mean that?   Does this mean we will soon be having Kama Sutra for Kindergartners?  Sun Tzu for second grade?  Mein Kampf for Middle Schoolers?   Of course not.  Not because there are not some who aren't crazy enough to push for them; but because at the end of the day those books do not reinforce the 'progress...

 Today as many 'woke' college students across the liberal university system in this country staged a walkout to demand a ceasefire from Israel; we saw an episode which could have been torn from the pages of Anne Frank's own diary, or indeed from any number of holocaust-based films.  At Cooper Union College in NY,  While the woke elitist mob "protested", Several Jewish students were rushed into the school library and locked inside for their own safety.  Why you might ask?  *Cue the footage of the liberal Nazis attempting to break into the library to get the Jews, while chanting that popular slogan "Free Palestine!"   Because obviously in their twisted minds, killing all Jews is the way to prevent genocide, yes?  This blatant act of antisemitism and terrorism is yet another mark against the party of alleged "love and understanding".   Anyone who supports this act or any of the other hundreds of assaults being committed against Jews across ...
