"Church OF England as Newbigin Battleground 40 years later: Angela Tilby and Tom Holland"


27:00  Liberals have no boundaries.

33:00  Does anyone even know that the official moral system of America is?

39:00  The Pope's Latin title is Pontifex. Before Rome was Christianised, the Chief Priest of Rome was called Pontifex Maximus. The Emperor had that title, rather like the British monarch also being the Supreme Governor of the Church of England. One of the titles Julius Caesar had was the title of Pontifex Maximus. There is however an issue with separation of powers which the Hasmonean Dynasty discovered to their cost.

39:45  There should be a moral test for our ruling classes. 

41:00  PVK cannot talk about Muslims without equating them to filicide for Islamophobic reasons.  

Actually, Muslims are forbidden to kill each other, though you like to pretend that honour killing is prescribed by the Koran. Actually, it is the the Book of Deuteronomy that prescribes the honour kililng of drunk and disobedient sons and is part of the Christian Holy Bible. I pointed this out last Friday, but I know you have to keep repeating these tropes every time you mention Muslims because it is part of your shtick. Muslims, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, honour killing and, sotto voce, "We don't want them here, do we, boys and girls?" But it  is part of your business model to bomb the shit out of Muslim countries, traffic them over as cheap labour and then complain about them and their shithole countries that you bomb the crap out of. 

Provocation is a partial defence to murder.  

Men who murdered their female sex partners caught in the act could use crime passionel as a mitigating factor. These days, because women not your wives are prepared to have sex with you are a dime a dozen, men would just move on to the next floozie without feeling the urge to murder her as their fathers and grandfathers might have felt. 

Is it even true that Muslims are more likely to commit filicide than non-Muslims?

The children most vulnerable to filicide would be the illegitimate offspring of unmarried mothers rearing them in fatherless homes. I remember trying to discuss this with you and you pulling your Coastal Elite shtick on me with "We are not the kind of people who discuss that kind of thing!"

If you categorise infanticide and abortion as a category of homicide, then white non-Muslim cultural Christians are probably the group most likely to kill their children.

BRAVE AI

In the Netherlands, filicide (the killing of a child by a parent) is a rare occurrence, averaging 8 to 9 cases per year historically, though trends have fluctuated over recent decades.  Research indicates a steady increase in filicide rates from the early 1990s to a peak during 2007–2011, followed by a significant drop between 2012 and 2016, with only two recorded cases in 2016. 

Key characteristics and trends include:

Causes and Motives: Most filicides in the Netherlands are the result of physical abuse leading to the child’s death, distinct from other European countries where strangulation or suffocation may be more common. 

Contributing Factors: The rise in filicide during the late 2000s is speculated to be linked to economic strain and unemployment following the financial crisis, although researchers emphasize that such broad explanations should be viewed with skepticism due to the low sample sizes. 

Recent Statistics: According to Statistics Netherlands (CBS), in the period 2018–2022, 32 children under the age of 10 were murdered, with 88% killed by their own father or mother.  In the same period, 41 children and young adults aged 10–20 were killed. 

Prevention and Research: Due to the infrequency and multifactorial nature of these crimes, predictive models are difficult to establish. Studies utilize the European Homicide Monitor (EHM) to compare Dutch filicide with data from countries like Sweden and Finland, where declines have been attributed to factors such as increased antidepressant prescription or urbanization. 

49:00  On the anointing of British monarchs, I trust PVK and his viewers will find https://www.kcl.ac.uk/consecration-of-the-new-king-what-is-anointing

It is not quite being basted like a turkey as I once supposed, and Elizabeth I had some interesting things to say about the oil!

49:30  To this question my response is another question: Do we really think Constantine the Great Christianised Rome for fun? Do we really think the Romans literally believed in their imperial cult ie that emperors turned into gods upon death? Constantine knew that nobody believed in the old imperial cult  - certainly none of the Roman generals who fought each other to be emperor in the Year of the Four Emperors, the Year of the Five Emperors  and the Year of the Six Emperors. 

Therefore the answer is that we do need to believe in it or at least be expected to believe in it or pretend we believe in it even as virtue signalling hypocrites. It would help if it was easy to believe with a long track record of success eg the Abrahamic God since it has been said that Jews and their religion are arguably evidence of God. Why else would they still be around if God did not exist to protect the most hated people with the most restrictive religion on earth?

56:00  Should the monarchy be abolished, the British monarch could, if he chose, be his own Archbishop of Canterbury but only after the disestablishment of the Church of England. The whole point of Christianity was to defend the divine right of kings, as I keep repeating, though no one ever seems to understand. If you accept this historical fact, you would have to accept that Christianity became an anachronism the moment Christendom ended in 1918, though I am not sure how many people actually understand this when I say it. America can never be part of Christendom because it is a republic. Christendom is a portmanteau word referring to a Europe of Christian kingdoms. 

1:09:00  The Lords Temporal and Spiritual were probably what you were reaching out for.
