So many people ask me why the Anglican Church is so divided about Occupy LSX? SO, WHY, REALLY? Well first consider where Occupy London is physically most represented: St. Paul’s Square. The Cathedral is supported by Goldman Sachs and many financial institutions, and it costs £14.50 to visit St. Paul’s, yes very charitable. Many of the clergy sit on committees which work with the big banks of the city, furthermore the Church is directly involved with the Cooperation of London, a semi medieval body that is extremely right wing and ruthless.
The Church of England furthermore invests people’s money in the big banks and investment funds - in other words, it PROFITS from the capitalist system’s OPPRESSION of people. It actually MADE money in the financial crisis, and NOT A LOSS! Ok, so they take a small percentage and invest it back in people… Speaking of investment, by the way, the Church recently made a huge profit selling its social housing. God Bless. Still surprised it is deeply divided?
