So Henry VIII’s divorce facilitation church thinks that people who never owned slaves should pay money to people who never were slaves. Great Britain of course took the lead in fighting slavery in the 19th century. This has everything to do with the fact that Britain is being swamped with third world illegals and Anglican clerics, like Catholic clerics in our nation, are cheerleaders for it, and nothing to do with the historical reality of slavery. The Anglican church is now a Left wing ngo, with smells and bells, and an abiding hatred for their white working class members. This is the fate that Leftist Catholics want for the Catholic Church.

Amen to that.
Poland never had slavery. Being Polish I find it difficult to assume responsibility for a crime never committed by the Polish.
There are Orthodox Anglicans and Anglo-Catholics who do not hold to Canterbury’s insanity. Many jurisdictions have left the Church headed by King Charles III and reject liberal progressivism. They typically use the 1928 Book of Common Prayer, not later versions. While the ACNA is a mess due to playing footsie with the C of E and TEC, most of the rest are filled with honorable clerics who won’t have anything to do with wokism. Sadly, however, our own RCC seems determined to follow the TEC and C of E into heresy.
in its heart, the usccb wants reparations.
bet on it .
Has King Charles as head of the Church of England spoken publicly about this stupidity?
“in its heart, the usccb wants reparations.

… As long as they get to distribute them (for a fee)

My thought exactly, CAG. The Useless CCB exists by and for the grift. If it had to exist on the basis of donations from the faithful, which should be its sole source of funding, it would disappear quickly.

CAM, based on his past statements about various subjects, I would be willing to bet it either was his idea, or he enthusiastically supports it. Perspicacity appears not to be one of his talents.
If the C of E wants to pay reparations, they can cut the Catholic Church in – or return the properties themselves. We could use the cash flow to settle the sex scandals our idiot bishops allowed.
That’s another form of reparations. I am constantly drained to pay for bad actions of which I had no knowledge and had little power to prevent if I had known. I can’t direct a bishop what to have for breakfast, let alone effect his HR. Much less can I amend his theological failings, more’s the pity!
PS- I don’t actually want C of E properties as reparations. I’d much, much rather they sent us the people in their pews.
Since lay Catholics in this country are still burned by all the payouts for perverts the bishops’ actions and inactions (as the case may be) cost, I’m pretty sure no one in the UCCB dares to go a route that has little lay support and no money. However, I doubt that would keep some of their staff from pushing them to push for government reparations from the taxpayer.
