Nothing Really Matters

The Archbishop of Canterbury realized recently that his warnings were being ignored and took action. An awful lot of the Episcopal Church chattering classes are upset by this. Fair enough.

I have a question. If what the Archbishop does is of no import, if he has no authority and his words do not matter to the Episcopal Church, then why is everyone so upset?

If the entire city of Los Angeles took umbrage at me, I doubt I would lose a wink of sleep. So why the strong reactions?

For my progressive friends, this may help.

Kingston Reflection

Here's to our lord of Canterbury,
whose word no one relies on.
Who never said a foolish thing,
and who never did a wise one.
