I don't care who you are, pal, you take a stall on the high street everyone else be it Captain Hook or the local council. <br /><br />Our Lady of Surbiton was not accepted as of divine origin in 2002. Ellen Fox gives an exposition of the doctrinal situation and the reservations which the Church had about the group.<br /> <br />http://www.christianorder.com/features/features_2002/features_may02_bonus_1.html<br /><br />As Catholics take divinity seriously, they have to consider the possibility that a vision which leads people to act antagonistically towards other groups, to behave in a way which will make enemies for the Catholic church generally, and where there is a distinct whiff of cult, may be demonic in origin.<br /><br />It is important to note that this is not a recognized Catholic order - it is a private pious group. <br /><br />Andrew Gimson ran a sympathetic interview in 2002 but didn't do any more investigation in to the negative aspects of the group. <br /><br />http://www.spectator.co.uk/spectator/thisweek/9648/our-lady-of-surbiton.thtml<br /><br />The bottom line is: they have two houses and like holding outdoor worship. So far that has not been regarded as a nuisance. <br /><br />At the point where they begin to nark the locals and provoke a fight, then retreating behind the shelter of "it's my religion innit", there is no discernable difference between them and Anjem Choudhary.Woman on a Rafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08897415591130901416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-5564017748933341892011-11-08T11:14:43.440+00:002011-11-08T11:14:43.440+00:00Rantin Rab: it's not unheard of for parents to...Rantin Rab: it's not unheard of for parents to skirt around awkward questions posed by small children.<br /><br />Furthermore, is there a practical way of preventing this demonstration?<br /><br />At least these women are physically present and not represented by an encampment of empty tents.<br /><br />Talking of which why aren't the empty tents (Parliament Sq. & St. Paul's) simply removed as litter?Mick Turatianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12533201193634948442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-69606020023374680242011-11-08T11:01:57.546+00:002011-11-08T11:01:57.546+00:00But why should I have to explain to my child what ...But why should I have to explain to my child what 'aborted' means years they are ready to because some god botherers put up a sign opposite a primary school? <br /><br />I can see both sides on this one.RantinRabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557178651491442917noreply@blogger.com
