Revenge of the Establishment - Irreverend Episode 122

Church of England vicars Tom Pelham and Jamie Franklin get together to discuss this week's topic stories and talking points:
- Should there be ducks in baptismal fonts? You decide.
- Revenge of the Cathedral as Tucker Carlson is out at Fox News.
- Diane Abbott seems to have the lost the plot in racism gaffe debacle. Is she the victim of a cancel culture that she has helped to flourish in these days?
- GAFCON, an organisation representing 85% of the world's Anglicans, have met and decided to formally reject the leadership of the Archbishop of Canterbury over his support of gay blessings. We discuss.
A little bit more on Matthew Parris after my somewhat irascible riposte (https://thecritic.co.uk/the-problem-with-parris/), a question the rev on Christology and so much more as always.
