The legacy media is treating the appointment of Sarah Mullally as yet another victory for feminism, and she’s very much into breaking “the stained glass ceiling” that purportedly keeps women from the highest levels of church leadership.
Of course this is actually called Church Tradition and the Apostolic Succession, two things that – like traditional marriage – has been jettisoned by the progressives who run most of Mainline Protestantism.
I’m sure it’s quite a heady feeling knowing that she is the instrument of the final destruction of the Church of England, but she’s really just reaping the harvest planted by her predecessor Justin Welby, who broke up the Anglican Communion. Her Excellency has but 15 percent of the former Anglican flock, a number that will surely fall further.
At this late date, churches that are still forging ahead with progressivism know full well what they are doing. Repeated examples have shown that “inclusiveness” results in empty pews, schism and financial ruin. I have absolutely no doubt that this is intended.
The giveaway is the big deal she is making about being “first,’ as if that was the most pressing issue in English Christianity. A rising and violent Muslim population that is passing around little girls like party snacks cries out for condemnation, but she will say nothing, content to hang more rainbow flags in her vacant buildings.
This doubtless will come as a bitter pill for those Anglicans that had hung in there, hoping against hope that somehow, the church of their youth and the faith they were raised in might redeem itself.
But for others, it is time to head for the exit. The various efforts to heal the schism with Rome or seek accommodation with the Eastern Orthodox Church are now dead. Mullally is all-in on the issues of this world, and has little interest in the world to come. She was instrumental in pushing blasphemous marriages, and will not retreat. There is nothing left for the various churches to discuss.
An appointment of a woman to the See of Canterbury would have shocked the world 20 years ago, been a major event 10 years ago, but now is a niche story. No one cares. The Church of England is completely irrelevant in terms of shifting public opinion, and it is very obviously no longer interested in saving souls from sin but instead confirming them in it.
And that is the great tragedy. How many people who sought God instead found flawed humans who kept them from the truth?
