In the Country that Used to be England

...it has long been a given that all religions are equally superior to the Catholic Church. Now that the country has largely de-Christianized, that has expanded to the confidence that all religions are equally superior to Christianity. So, for instance, Cameron's Britain takes it for granted that Christians can not only be compelled not to wear crosses, but that if one of them becomes uppity enough to do so, all you have to do is trot out the language about mean Christians who advertise their faith as though it was superior to other beliefs. Whipped Christians, timid about appearing "judgmental", often capitulate to this sort of draconian post-Christian appeal to "judge not, lest ye be judged" and back down. However, as this video demonstrates, some Britons are beginning to get a little taste of what happens when watery post-Christian secularism, accustomed to bullying meek Christians, meets inflamed and diseased Islam:

The most telling line in that whole pathetic thing is the Muslim woman's confident declaration, "I *am* judging you."

Secularist bullies and cultured despisers--the sort of people who hector Christians to be more understanding of "Piss Christ" and who perpetually rail about Judgmental Christians--knowing that Christians are required by their faith to "judge not, lest ye be judged"--are entirely flummoxed when they encounter a religious tradition where their favorite tactic of "Bully and Scold" suddenly no longer works. Islam has, so far as I know, no tradition against frank, naked, and proud judgment against the infidel, and no sense of shame about indulging in such judgment. Watery post-Christian secularism--which knows almost nothing of the differences between Christianity and Islam and generally assumes that if you've seen one Abrahamic religion you've seen 'em all--is gobsmacked and utterly.........

Its sad, and I write this as a cradle Episcopalian of English ancestry, but I've come to the conclusion that only a mass conversion to the Roman Catholic faith will preserve Christianity in Britain.
The Anglican Church is little more than a shadow of itself
and is unwilling or unable to stem the transformation of England into an anti-Christian country.
The other Protestant churches are little better.
None seem to have any idea how to inspire people to live a Christian life.
The Roman Catholic Church may not be able to prevent a transformation, but at least the Pope is not afraid to try.

No whipped Christians here. I am a Christian biker and wear crosses on my gear and patches speaking to the Glory of God
I can share the Good News with you. You can call me names and be nasty to me. Why would I care? But if you get tough or violent you will find out I am ex military ex Law Enforcement and a biker..........

The US is historically merely a few years behind in the islamization process of what was once Britain.

We are forewarned but choose to close our eyes to this danger. Even our congresscritters are deep asleep and more concerned with their job security than the security of America.

This pope is not afraid to, but what about the next one, who shall come too soon, I'm afraid.
