If slam dunk proof were needed that Britain should leave the EU, I offer it.
112 Bishops of the Church of England voted Remain, according to well informed Anglican blogger Archbishop Cranmer, and one voted Leave. I am a bit doubtful about there he got the figures. I suspect he knew of one Leaver and assumed the rest were Remain, but the assumption would have been based on studying the hierarchy closely for years.
Catholic bishops in Great Britain probably have similar views. Oddly, though UKIP was the only party that opposed single-sex marriage, it is said to have fairly few adherents among the Catholic clergy, who tend to read anti-Catholic newspapers like the Guardian and Observer. Pro-abortion, pro-feminist parties get their vote instead.

ReplyDeleteOf course if you had a poll to find out how many Church of England bishops actually believe in God (the Christian God not some vague pantheist drivel) you'd be lucky to find more than a handful.
And if you conducted a poll to discover how many Church of England bishops were prepared to defend the teachings of their own church the results would be even more depressing. I doubt if you'd even find one.
I actually suspect there are a lot more atheists among Church of England bishops than among the general population.
The Church of England believes in whatever the British political Establishment believes.
Anglicans in general tend to believe in the general consensus of opinion in England, apart from the Low Church ones.
