Simply earlier than Christmas, Dr Gavin Ashenden, a former Chaplain to the Queen, transformed to Catholicism. However that’s not the principle topic of my interview with him within the first Holy Smoke episode of 2020. In it, he deplores the Church of England’s give up to secularism beneath Archbishop Justin Welby, who received’t get pleasure from his former colleague’s evaluation of his skills.
Dr Ashenden will not be Anglican any extra, however he does assume that the Established Church has a historic mission – and that its ‘center managers’ have betrayed it in favour of ‘tender socialism’. To which I reply that Pope Francis is busy hoisting the white flag, or maybe a purple one, on the opposite aspect of the Tiber. At which level our dialog takes an surprising flip. Don’t miss it!
