Conservative Anglican author and activist David Virtue has penned a biting (but bright) satire over on Virtue Online, "The Voice for Global Orthodox Anglicanism." The article is, with proper apologies made to C.S. Lewis, entitled, "Screwtape Proposes an Episcopal Toast."
You may laugh. You may even cringe at a phrase or two. And, if you haven't been following the controversy closely, Virtue will make a lot of specific references that will fly over your head. No matter. You'll see that Virtue triumphs in the end as he makes his basic points interesting, persuasive, and memorable.
My dear Wormwood,
Word of your enormous success with America's mainline denominations continues to draw our father's attention and gratitude.
That you are systematically undermining them all over pansexual behavior is nothing short of genius. We note with interest that the Scandinavian countries have been seduced by sodomy as well, indicative of that fact that deviant sex can be sold trans nationally especially in Luther's denomination. It has taken nearly 500 years, but we are almost there...
We are particularly delighted that America's premier denomination, The Episcopal Church, has almost completely rolled over...
Remember, Wormwood, the art of seduction is best done by desensitizing and ultimately dumbing down the other side so they finally just roll over and accept this abominable behavior that has brought so many to our father's hell. We particularly like the fact that the Archbishop of Canterbury calls on all sides to continue listening and to be in "conversation" with one another...Its intent is to converse and converse and converse till everybody gets worn down and finally rolls over...
That Global South archbishops and bishops hardened their hearts against us and formed their horrid GAFCON was a bitter blow, but fear not, Wormwood. Our emissaries and agents are hard at work in Uganda and Nigeria, in the latter fomenting Islamic fanatics to kill Christians though there is a danger that could backfire. We are working daily to undermine their dogmatic stance. We are throwing around the word "homophobia" like so much sand in the faces of their bishops. We are also doing our utmost to undermine the African courts, sending in our political agents in the form of UN representatives and that dreadful creature from America, Hilary Clinton. What a godsend she has been, if you'll pardon the pun...
