Unfortunately @giles_fraser seems to have forgotten Jesus's teaching. "'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh" (Mt 19:5). Harry's family is his wife and child, not the monarchy. unherd.com/thepost/meghan…
@giles_fraser Jesus's teaching is crystal clear. When the needs of his wife and his parents conflict, a man's first duty is to his wife, not his parents. So in Christian terms, Harry made the right choice. As a Christian priest, Fraser should commend him for this.
@giles_fraser But instead of commending Harry for his principled decision. Fraser launches a vicious attack on Harry's wife. It's another thoroughly nasty post.
@giles_fraser This is not the first time Fraser has sacrificed Christianity on the altar of his nationalist and nativist beliefs. I have castigated him previously for his condemnatory, Pharisaical attitude towards women over the care of elderly relatives: coppolacomment.com/2019/02/a-lack…
@giles_fraser I fear it will not be the last. And it is particularly frightening to me, as a Christian, that someone who should be promoting the compassionate teachings of Christ seems bent on turning them to the service of a nationalist and nativist ideology.
@giles_fraser Interestingly, the last time I criticised Fraser, it was over his condemnatory attitude towards a woman. And it is this time, too. Funny, that.
@giles_fraser unroll please @threadreaderapp
