Thread: I’m from the Vatican, you’re f*cked

It seems that a vicar from north London has been trying to emulate a former bishop of Southwark. ![[Disappointed]](graemlins/disappointed.gif)
The latter may have become most famous for his catchphrase "I'm the Bishop of Southwark. It's what I do" though "I’m from the Vatican, you’re f*cked" doesn't quite have the same sort of panache about it.
If you or your vicar/bishop/pastor/priest/minister (delete per denominational preference) were to be found in a similarly combative and inebriated mode, what gems of wisdom might the arresting officer expect? ![[Two face]](graemlins/scot_twoface.gif)

Oldest trick in the book, that. If you are out with a group of fellow teenager marauders causing mischief and the adult who catches you red handed asks what school you go to, always tell them the name of the rival high school.

Those Biblical chaps had quite a capacity, as attested by the story of the wedding at Cana:

And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins* apiece.
Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.

While not advocating this activity,perhaps it serves as a useful astringent to the prevailing "earnest gentility" of those priests who have received their calling rather later in life after they have sorted out children's education,home and pension pot!

Why the ? Central to the parable is the overwhelming nature of the miracle. He does not just supply wine, its the best wine and in abundance.

The Bishop of Chelmsford can delegate this one to the Area Bishop of Barking.
The church website says St Mary the Virgin is part of the CofE and in Barking. Chelmsford Diocese is administered as three areas of which Barking is the most westerly.

You need to find 72.
minus Mary = 71
minus the unnamed one = 70
remainder 69.

I looked at the website. There was a reference to the Bishop of Richborough.
I find it very sad that "anglo catholic" is taken to mean "no women priests".

In agree. Though to be fair to them, they have apage on their website called 'anglo catholism? which points out that there sre difference between anglo-catholics on this and other issues. It gives quite fair account of the history of the movement.
Quite unlike those who accuse affcaths as being mere 'liberals in vestments'.
