Chad Varah, Anglican vicar RIP
has some explaining of his own to do at St Peter's Gate , after Luther who called the Pope a donkey and Galileo the Pope a dunce, to show the paucity of their theological arguments.
He had conceived, at the age of 9, the idea of a land called Refugia which would provide a homeland for all dispossessed and fugitive peoples; and referred to the Pope as “a good holy man, but Public Enemy No 3 or 4”
for his obduracy on contraception, telling The Sunday Telegraph in 1993: “It was a great mistake to make an ignorant Polish peasant into a Pope.”
What is the point of running around in a Pelagian frenzy of good works and not have a good word to say about the Vicar of Christ on earth? While I may have some reserve about Pope John Paul II's use of personalist philosophy, an ignorant peasant he was not.
