London -- A selfish Anglican minister is urging his flock to pray that a 4-year-old boy grow up to be gay, like him. The boy is Prince George, the elder child of Prince William and is third in line to the throne. The Very, Very Rev. Kelvin Holdsworth (I wonder what he thinks is worth holding) wants his freaking flock to pray that Prince George finds the love "of a fine young gentleman" when he grows up so as to advance a cause the Very, Very Rev. holds dear to his heart: the cause of same-sex marriage in church.
The Very, Very Rev. is known as a gay, gay rights campaigner and an Islamic apologist, as he makes contentious gestures for his causes.
The call to prayer comes just days after Prince Harry, an obvious heterosexual and war hero and George's uncle and fifth in line to the throne, announced his engagement to Meghan Markle of "Suits" fame.
Holdsworth just had to once again put a spotlight on the role of non-traditional royal romance with the Prince George request.
There is no reason to believe that Prince George will turn out to be gay as it is statistically improbable, although not very improbable.
Prince Harry and Ms. Markle are to marry in May at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. It is only since 2002 that the Church of England has permitted church marriages for divorced people, "in exceptional circumstances" at the discretion of the parish priest because marriage is supposed to be forever (LOL).
Ms. Markle was married to Trevor Engelson in 2011 and divorced in 2013.
Holdsworth, who is remarkably selfish, wrote: "A royal wedding might sort things out remarkably easily, though we might have to wait 25 years for that to happen. Who knows whether that might be sooner than things might work out by other means." Which, when you get right down to it, is to the Very, Very Rev's. advantage.
It's bad enough you can't watch a Netflix original series without a token gay couple in it, now we have the Church of freaking England getting into the act.
I have nothing against homosexuality, but normalizing it by sticking it in our faces all the time makes the effort too obvious and objectionable.
Holdsworth has caused a rift among some in the religious community. For example, in January he permitted a reading from the Quran, the Muslim holy war manual, during a service that included a rebuttal that Jesus Christ was the son of God.
WTF! Why doesn't the Very, Very Rev. convert to Islam?
The Much More Rev. Gavin Ashenden, a former royal chaplain, called Holdsworth's comments unchristian.
Duh--of course they were.
"To pray for Prince George to grow up in that way" is to "pray in a way that would disable and undermine his constitutional and personal role," he told Christian Today, an online news provider, particularly when part of the expectation of George's role would be "to produce a biological heir with a woman he loves."
But Holdsworth is too selfish to let that little thing get in the way of his personal goal.
"It is an unkind and destabilizing prayer," Mr. Ashenden said. "It is the theological equivalent of the curse of the wicked fairy in one of the fairy tales."
Ooh . . . he said 'fairy.' That's racist.
