Mangled Thoughts

The Catholic Encyclopedia claims the Church was a mjor source for common law.Utter rot, the church was obstacle and the cost of Beckett’s victory from the grave persisted into the 19th century. The second hurdle Henry II faced was his leige Lord the king of France, and, some of his magnates and minor barons opposed to standardisation of law in terms of common law, under the highest authorities in England, courts Chancellory. Many of the priniples of common law were generated then.The common law induced economic liberalisation such that even serfs were far better of than their continental counter parts -not to say the life of an English serf was thus hunky dory altogether, just better off.
The sources of common law , given the slim evidence for its origins, one traces back largely to commercial towns.This corresponds with the glaring point, the ground of common law is economic liberty ; in stark contrast today with penchant of governments of each tier to overthrown common law through imposition of daministrative rules asserted as identical with law, many of which, indirectly corrupt freedom of contracts, fix prices, set up barriers - one more reason why the ACCC is a first rate joke but not a joke in its police state like approach to things.

The above is only to lead into the obvious, Australian clerics are besotted with vulgar humbuggery, like asserting `the sermon on the mount is a profound doctoral dissertation on economics’ which is what the clerisy position amounts to. Difficult to believe one could say it but, many a cleric is in need of a Sir Humphrey Appleby just to check them.

In the case of a former Ang.A.B., definitely. His call for parents to withdraw their children to Victorian government schools, at a time when the Cain-Kirner govts were finishing the final conversion of the same into the zoos they now are, was met with overwhelming silence. OUt of respect only, one assumes, melbourne and Victoria did not thunder with waves of rolling laughter.

As this gem, Uncle of ABC Watch zeroes in on and, ha, the global ambitions of the Ang.A.B. of Sydney, neatly distils, clerics never learn.

Rowan Williams is a very fine theologian.His Phd is no honorific.Will jensen decalre war against Spong, too?
As for `moral authority’, Oz clerics seem rather confused.Their authority is rests only not simply apostolic succession but, the pivot, whether they are `apostololic’. It might be noted, the philosopher Copplestone S.J. discovered the flaw too late during the proceedings of the debate with Lord Bertrand Russell, though on the subject of physics.

Jenson must be a gnostic, like the A.B. who declared it is the clerical duty to assert what god orders. Gnosticism, is superstition in the strict definition of the word, rendering, perforce, not a few clerics heretics.Is the A.B. of Sydney a heretic, pray tell?

To be fair, clerics are not the ones guilty of superstition: big bruvver central planners, socialists , greenies, are also irrational, superstitious humbuggers who hold all and all good things in contempt ,excepting themselves and their own interests; which implies, underneath all their unctious handwringing,they are selfish, greedy brats.
