Soon after I left the Anglican Church to become a Catholic I remember an Australian poking fun at the stuffy Church of England with the quip, “Church of England mate? That’s not a religion. It’s a set of table manners.”
On reflection, after all these years I have come to see that the Australian wise guy was wiser than I could see at the time, and his comment does not only apply to the Church of England with their lovely traditions, but to the whole heretical gang of modernist Christians no matter what their denominational affiliation. It doesn’t matter if they are Anglican, Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist or Roman Catholic.
He said “That’s not a religion. It’s a set of table manners.” I related to the table manners comment, but not as much to the “that’s not a religion”
