Who was alive 800 years ago? You? Well, you can damned well apologise, then.
The Church of England is to apologise for its “shameful actions” in passing anti-Jewish laws 800 years ago that paved the way for the expulsion of Jews from England.
That’s right, 800 years ago. Anti Semitism was rife at that time and Jews were persecuted. All very horrible by today’s standards, but fairly normal for the time. Of course, we could dig up Longshanks and make him apologise for passing the law, but I’m not sure that will work too well. There is no one alive who made that decision. No one alive who suffered as a consequence. It was of its time, so apologising on behalf of the long dead for behaving in accordance with the mores and customs of the time is futile, pathetic virtue-signalling. What matters, really matters, is the vile anti Semitism going on today, but that would be too difficult a task to contemplate for the hard of thinking at the CofE.
The Church of England was not created until the 1530s, when Henry VIII split from the pope. Nevertheless, it was now right for Christians to repent of their “shameful actions” and to “reframe positively” relations with the Jewish community, said Jonathan Chaffey, archdeacon of Oxford. The Roman Catholic church was “fully in accord” with the apology, he added.
No Christian alive today has any reason to repent for these actions.
And they wonder why church attendance is diminishing…
Well if the church feels that bad it can make some compensation and send funds to Israel or something. It has plenty of cash.
