Oh Dear!

I have been blocked at the ACC-UK's Facebook page and blocked by Fr. Jonathan Munn, a priest in that diocese, until yesterday a good Facebook friend.  I'm sure that's the result of our ACC friends in the UK having read my posts here about the Robinson matter.

It's not that I really care about being blocked at the ACC-UK FB page.  If I want to see it, there are workarounds, so blocking me is quite futile and just a little petulant. 

I am much sadder about Fr. Munn's excommunication of me.  I genuinely respect and like him.  But he and I have been through this drill before when I have been critical of the ACC.  We managed to talk it out and restore the friendship, and I hope we will be able to do so again.

Seriously, I understand why they're unhappy with me.  I join thousands of Robinson supporters who are absolutely livid over this affair, and we have naturally unleashed a torrent of angry words. 

There are reasons for our strong support of Fr. Robinson, which I wish these folks would try to understand.  That has special application to the folks in the UK, since it's only the political philosophy and accompanying drastic policy recommendations of men like Robinson that will save the UK from eventual demographic and religious oblivion.  The ACC has some lovely little churches there.  Unless the Brits man up and act in the way Robinson calls them to man up and act, those lovely little churches will surely be mosques some day.  This is a huge reason populism is currently surging in Europe. The Brits need to get on that train, and soon, or their future will be lost.
