Christianity at the Crossroads

                              A cross - at the crossroads - geddit?

This is the title of a programme due to be aired tomorrow, Tuesday 19th March, on BBC Radio 4 at 9am.

It is being booted around by the Beeb that it is a debate on the two major Christian Faiths, the Catholic and Anglican Churches.

How's that? Take me slowly through this once more please Auntie.

It appears as if they are running a debate based on the fact that we have a new Pope and a new ABC.

But what about the Orthodox Church?

Blimey O'Reilly, partnering the Catholic Church with the Anglican is rather like harnessing a Great White to a budgerigar.

Who on earth would describe the Anglican Church as one of the two major Christian denominations....what's that?

John Humphrys? Ah, that explains it then.

I am guessing that this 'debate' will involve the usual Catholic 'experts'.

BTW, 'experts' in BBC terminology normally means ex priests, homosexuals, M & S nuns, Tablet stringers and any other Catholic nutjob* they can find.

It is not just ignorance on the Beeb's part. I am certain it is a deliberate move to attempt to rock the foundations of HMC.

We have many, many, good priests to select for such debates. Father Marcus Holden,  Fr Tim Finigan, Fr Ray Blake, Fr Simon Henry, Fr Aidan Nichols OP, to name just a few.

But then they would give sound Catholic responses and that's not what they want, is it?

I shall probably listen in at quite some distance from the radio. We have suffered too much from portable listening devices being picked up and hurled through the nearest window.

 Mrs L has the straightjacket all ready for me.
