Suicide by secularisation: how the churches are dying

Published: June 19, 2020, 5:52 p.m.

Today\u2019s episode of Holy Smoke exposes the extent to which ordinary Christians have been betrayed by their own bishops. This is a process that began decades ago \u2013 but it is only this year, during the coronavirus pandemic, that we\u2019ve seen just how corrupted church leaders have become by secularisation.
\n
\n\n\nThe need to close churches for public worship during the lockdown meant that, for the first time in many decades, Anglican and Catholic bishops were able to exercise a small but significant degree of secular power \u2013 something they desperately crave. In doing so, they displayed a mixture of ruthlessness, vanity, hypocrisy and stupidity that will accelerate the decline of their own institutions.

\n\n\nThis episode will tell you things that bishops \u2013 in Rome and America as well as Britain \u2013 are anxious to conceal from their flocks. Please tune in!
