| The Scandal Archbishop |
That did it! That blasted 'Llandafchesterchronicles' blog......... Once again he flew into one of his pre rehearsed rages. Working himself into a tremendous 'Castro' type rant - a bowl of soap suds. Never has an Archbishop mastered the craft of delivering such lengthy hypnotic froth. As Scottie used to say in 'Star Trek' ' He canne take it much longer Cap'n.'
A medical orderly sitting there might have looked at him and suspected that there stood a man in need of a full strength Diazipan. Archbishop Barry needed to be convincing and seamless, but then a closer inspection and you discover he said almost nothing. Typical Castronian. No sound is so sweet to this 'jumpy little fellah' than the sound of his own voice. 'Calm down dear, its only the boys having a bit of fun.'
Master of hypocrisy.
Surprise, surprise! Archbishop Morgan seems to be making pro - language interventions by adding his name in an open letter to the Heritage Minister' calling for more powers to be given to the Welsh language. To most of us, who are more cynical , it is probably just another ego manic ploy at being sucky - sucky. As in 'please Dave, send me to the House of Lords.'
Meanwhile, this 'Top cultural figure' (Stop laughing - Dailypost 5th Nov) has imported into his Llandaf diocese a personal chaplain from Australia, Suffrigan bishop from Yorkshire and a female Archdeacon, (Giggles) from Southark. All of which are non Welsh speakers. Details of which were of course censored in a recent article written by columnist Glyn Morgan in the 'Llan' Welsh Church Newspaper. Just the tip of the ice burg under the 'Von Morganmeistr's' cultural leardership. Effectively he should qualify to be the Archbishop of China! - but dream on brethren.
Barry Morgan heads a church where only two out of seven bishops are fluent in Welsh. Not one Welsh cleric was apparently good enough to be appointed as the new Dean of Bangor. Oh yes, this hypocrite may seem to be a leader in command of his tribe, brimming with confidence, telling the rest of us what to do, but is he a little too pleased with himself, whilst the infantry go unrewarded?
One suspects that all this is but a desperate attempt to salvage some dignity from what has turned out to be an episcopate and archepiscopate of irretrievable and monumental balls-up.
Bangor punishment block - 'Stalag 13.'
Newly appointed Archdeacon of Meirionydd Andrew Jones came in for of some light spanking on the Radio Cymru - Gwilym Owen Show on 'All Saints' day. The only impressive performance he gave was his usual ozone-puncturing hypocrisy and self importance. To cap it all he now hopes to be elected on to the 'Provincial Disciplinary Tribunal of the Church in Wales'. A measure of humility would not go amiss from this swarmy little pratt.
Like wonder bra, providing full support, Jones endorsed the controversial appointment of the Bangor Diocesan Ouango Queen 'Thoroughly Modern Millie', as the first ever woman Dean of Bangor, a non Welsh speaker - 'The best one for the job,' so he claimed. Pull the other earing pal - it might have a bell on.
As an appeasment to the natives for her lack of Welsh the new Dean is provided with a sponge man in the form of Rev Tegid Roberts ( Capt Manering). Nice one! A huge rise in salary and no responsibility, (the milky bar's are on me). The next major task will be to find something for him to do.
As Dean, Modern Millie will, no doubt, be singled out for punishment. First impression will be the coldness of her manner, since she appears to radiate little human emotion. A tidy and 'defensive' mind, she meets questioning into her private life like a car park barrier greets vehicles arriving at the entrance. This lass is a one woman gunboat Not much is known concerning a certain period of her history, other than her boyfriend, whom she followed to Wales, who is an avid 'Teddy Bear' enthusiast. Ah..... problem solved.
Like the bishop, 'Modern Millie' is no doubt a 'Von Morganmeistr' robot, and it is not difficult to understand why supporters of the current Archdeacon of Bangor find her expendable. During the last electoral college in Bangor she attempted to pass fizzing hand grenades to her colleagues to prevent him being elected bishop, whilst her pierced ear accomplice on the outside, briefed the press against him. She used to shrivel like an oyster squirted with lemon at the very thought of him becoming her boss.
No invite for him (or the Teddy Bear Prof) to her 50th birthday, which, it is rumoured, included a sleep over in Llanbedrog -'How pleasant a thing it is, when brethren dwell among each other in unity.' Never mind 'Professor' , Millie would have been in a safe pair of hands.
The forthcoming 'Royal Wedding' thought to be in early spring , following which William and Kate are expected to be residing in nearby Anglesey, is it not high time that 'Prof' and 'Dean' made honest idividuals of one another? How splendid! Just imagine,' Cathedral Wedding Bells' - another 'Cathrine Cookson' best seller.
Is Millie a bully? The 'Enforcer' fears that she may be. Best avoid the one way system near the Cathedral after dark.
