A friend brought to my attention the fact that an ordained Anglican Priest has today been on the Television pontificating about Israel Folau. It seems that this priest considered Israel to be “out of court” (my loose translation) in publicly quoting the Bible. He further told his, presumably astonished, audience that the Bible was “out of date” in many of its statements. I feature a picture of the late Dick Emery, a comedian who specialised in featuring the eccentricities of Pontificators.

I am an avid reader of the Bible and supporter of free speech. But I wish such ordained Pontificators would fully explain their sweeping statements. Please tell me where the Bible is “in date”. It is very confusing for an, apparently, evolving Primate, to grasp such things, when “qualified” theologians make such conflicting statements and then also deride footballers.

I feel inclined to call out to ordained Primates in the same way our Prime Minister called out for tourists….”Where the Bl***** H*** are you?” (in his famous ad, featuring Lara Bingle, see our heading). A sort of Primate to Primate call.
