Via Washington Post:
LONDON — Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams says Jesus would have joined protesters from the anti-corporate Occupy movement who have been camped outside London’s St. Paul’s Cathedral for more than seven weeks.
In a British magazine, the leader of the world’s 78 million Anglicans worldwide insisted that Jesus would be “there, sharing the risks, not just taking sides.”
The demonstrators pitched their tents outside the iconic cathedral in mid-October to protest what they see as the unfairness and illegalities of the global financial community.
In his article written for the Christmas edition of the Radio Times magazine, the archbishop said Jesus was “constantly asking awkward questions” in the Bible.Ya think Jesus would be hanging out with unrepentant miscreants who seem intent on breaking all ten commandments on a daily basis? In fact, if the typical OWS person represented anyone in the Bible, there are two people who might qualify, one from a parable and the other being the disciple who betrayed the Truth in the flesh.
In the Parable of the Talents, the servant who buried his talent would gladly join the OWS and based on Judas Iscariot's behavior in John 12:1-6, the latter would probably be an OWS organizer while pocketing all the money.
Rowan is lost.
