It seems like Phillip Jensen isn't the only one in need of defense...Archbishop George Pell comes to Peter Jensen's aid.

Archbishop Pell states that Archbishop Peter Jensen... has been in top form lately with his cogent defence of the importance of marriage and his refusal to be bowed, despite some uncivilised displays of intolerance, on the health risks from promiscuity - homosexual or heterosexual...

Christian teaching on sexuality, marriage and family makes good sense in any age, especially ours where the wages of sin are becoming increasingly obvious. Cohabitation, marriage breakdown, increasing stress, anxiety and depression, absent fathers, and more sexually-transmitted disease are not unconnected. They follow from our way of life.

The contraceptive pill, developed in the 1960s, produced profound cultural changes, unleashing a copulation explosion and a population implosion. No Western country produces enough babies to keep the population stable. The Australian fertility rate of 1.89 is far from the worst.

A wife declaring her submission to her husband as one option for Anglican weddings produced a firestorm. A deal of the criticisms came from outside Christian communities; some were heartfelt and genuine while others were less so....

Homosexual marriage is a sideshow despite the heat it creates. No practical legal entitlements follow from its civil recognition, as they have essentially all been won...




 

Truly, Archbishop Jensen....is that really the best defence you could find?...Well arrogance and archbishop do both start with "a"!




Well Calam...it seems like Sydney Anglicans like to gravitate to those who work diligently to promote inequality and discrimination...but are happy to turn a blind - eye to pedophilla... 
Sydney Anglicans must really feel proud... to be a member of GAFCON!
