Thank you, Dr. Ashenden. A man after God's own Heart. The unbelievers, both inside and outside of the Church the Good Shepherd called you to, wouldn't understand. God Bless.
There is only one response, given to us by Our Lady of Fatima: Pray three times in a row before the Blessed Sacrament. Most Holy Trinity-Father, Son and Holy Spirit-I adore Thee profoundly. I offer Thee the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges, and indifferences whereby He is offended. And through the infinite merits of His Most Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of Thee the conversion of poor sinners.
This is appalling. The trouble is that it would appear that they don't think there is anything wrong. I recall visiting Chester Cathedral a few years ago, and as I stood in one of the side altars an announcement came over a tannoy, it was like being in a supermarket. It has bothered me ever since, but that was a small affair compared with helter-skelters, displays and golf courses, iftars and raves. The Church of England is finished, I just hope we don't go down with them.
What are Roman Catholics going to do with "returned" churches when they can hardly keep the ones they already have full? And where was the outrage when the RC Vienna Cathedral in Austria had a rock climbing wall in the nave and lesbian photo displays in the sacristy?
God can draw forth good from bad and so He has this very day using His instrument Dr Ashenden. The whole affair makes me think of today's reading; King Solomon betraying his faith with the women of the world and building them false temples.
One of mine has gone too, but this may be due to RUclips 'policing' comments rather than channel owners. It's very irritating. Re-wording might get round it.
There is a ROMAN Catholic ideological account of Christianity in England, throughout this polemic; which may be contested. Certainly 'Celtic' Christianity was already in the British Isles, before Augustine arrived in Pegwell Bay, Kent. Like Gavin, Canterbury was my 'home' cathedral during my adolescence: and I would regularly purchase a child's 'Day-Return' from Ramsgate, in order to visit this glorious building. Ironically, its magnificent central tower (surely the finest in the Christian world) was completed during the reign of the first Tudor Monarch, Henry VII, under the architect John Wastell (also responsible for Kings College Chapel, Cambridge). Now old, I am unlikely to visit Christ Church Cathedral again; because of the enormous entry-fee now levelled to maintain the structure of the building. We need a system more like the 'Church Tax' of Germany; where a certain amount of taxation is levelled on the general population in order to maintain the more significant legacy of cathedrals and churches which are our inheritance as 'First Nation Britons'. This would avoid the need to desecrate such buildings. Of course, with a 'relativist' Globalist Government in charge of us, this is unlikely to be proposed. His Globalist Majesty's Government would be perfectly happy were Christianity to disappear; and Islam take its place.
Talking of the German church tax, multitudes have been opting out of paying it in recent years. For 2022 523 000 Catholics left and about 360 000 Protestants. The most significant factor causing this has been the revelations of child abuse, made worse by the attempts by the hierachies to cover this up. It has backfired on them, and they are reaping what they have sown. I will be interested to see if the flood continues when the 2023 figures are published.
Let's dispel a myth. So called Celtic Christianity vs Roman Christianity. The two are one. We know Christianity was in Britannia during the Roman period prior to it being in Ireland. St Alban (third to fouth century martyr) and Pelagius (AD 354-418). The Church at that time was everything the C of E isn't and was part of the unified Western Church. St Patrick the apostle of Ireland lived in the 6th century. Patrick studied in Europe principally at Auxerre, but is thought to have visited the Marmoutier Abbey, Tours and to have received the tonsure at Lérins Abbey. Saint Germanus of Auxerre, a bishop of the Western Church, ordained him to the priesthood. Acting on his vision, Patrick returned to Ireland as a Christian missionary. Patrick as a Romano Britain was part of the Western Church and he took with him Western Christianity. If you examine the Mass and liturgy in Ireland you will see it is a variation of the Roman Rite. The date of Easter controversy is because tbe customs of Gaul were influenced by some bishops from Antioch and this can be seem today in the Rite of Lyon which is again a variation of the Roman Roman Rite.
Mark - there is a massive level of opting out of paying church tax in Germany, both Protestant and Catholic but especially the latter, mainly caused by disillusionment due to the covering up of child abuse by institutional hierarchies. There is no end in sight of this fairly recent development, which for 2022 amounted to a total of some 900 000 people.
@@johnfisher247 Thank you for this full explanation: but I notice you refer to "the Western Church" (I think correctly) and not "the Catholic Church" (as in ROMAN Catholic Church). Furthermore, until the Reformation there was, effectively, only 'The Western Church'. It was precisely the differing 'identities' (marked through attitudes to scripture and theology) which compelled the invention of the ROMAN Catholic Church.
@@kenbeach5021 Thanks Ken. This may be why my partner and I found the great Romanesque churches of Koln - not to mention its vast cathedral - now desperate for money for their upkeep. They all look a bit 'down-at-heel'. I hadn't made this link.
were the church’s buildings desacralised when the usurers’ minions stole all that they were able? and like a proddy taliban, broke artwork that was of no profit to them..a priestess is no less an affront to the church’s patrimony than disco dancers
Durham cathedral was used as a prison, and 1700 are reputed to have died inside. Cromwell's troops stabled their horses in churches. There's a long history of desecration in England's sacred houses. Imagining the dancers silently squirming is like something from a bad dream.
An amazingly powerful video! Beautifully presented. But such a tragic, utterly misguided event. Catholics and Anglicans must vociferously protest.
Beautifully said. I pray that those responsible will get to see this post. God bless you Dr Gavin
Well said Gavin, as ever. God bless you.
WELL SPOKEN ... Thankyou for talking it.... beautyFULL sharing...
Thank you, Dr. Ashenden. A man after God's own Heart. The unbelievers, both inside and outside of the Church the Good Shepherd called you to, wouldn't understand. God Bless.
Thank you for this powerful commentary. So sad that you had to do this.
Everything!! 😮

It makes me very sad how the CoE desecrates my Catholic heritage. Viva Cristos Rey
Amen Gavin. The descent to Hell continues…

Very well said.
The new dean of Canterbury Cathederal in in a civil partnership with another man ... emblematic of the current C of E.
What are Roman Catholics going to do with "returned" churches when they can hardly keep the ones they already have full? And where was the outrage when the RC Vienna Cathedral in Austria had a rock climbing wall in the nave and lesbian photo displays in the sacristy?

1. It will bring no one into our faith.
2. We will be mocked by other religions.
What a shame.
Abandon all this and join the Ordinariate.
It's not a den of thieves, it's a den of deviants! Honestly don't see much of a difference...
I see Mr Ashenden has removed my comment. Perhaps it’s best because too many people will begin to consider the raft of lies he promotes.
One of mine has gone too, but this may be due to RUclips 'policing' comments rather than channel owners. It's very irritating. Re-wording might get round it.
Thanks for that Ken. I hope it is a mere technical thing, and not Ashenden.@@kenbeach5021
