What a wonderful moment in #Synod .The terrible "Issues in Human Sexuality" document has been consigned to the recycling bin with huge support across the Synod, in all Houses and constituencies. Glimmers of hope.

There's much talk of a wealth tax at present, but there's strong evidence to suggest that the wealthy are already not paying all the tax that they owe. It's time to get that right before ever thinking about taxing wealth. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/07...
Making the wealthy pay is essential to tax justice

Alternatively, 'merum stercus tauri' - complete and utter bullshit.
The more relevant Latin theological phrase is not ordo amoris, but libido dominandi - the lust for domination, a favorite phrase of St. Augustine's. Political spite, glee over the despair of others, "owning" others, trolling others, etc, are all born out of this impulse.
