Welcome to the unofficial Christ's Hospital Forum - for discussing everything CH/Old Blue related. All pupils, parents, families, staff, Old Blues and anyone else related to CH are welcome to browse the boards, register and contribute.
This section was setup in August 2018 in order to move the existing related discussions from other sections into this new section to group them together, and separate from the other CH-related topics.

My opinion is that that with the politicisation of the Church by the Emperor Constantine in the 4th century AD the RC church ceased to be credible as a Christian institution.
When does any religion become credible? At what point does a religion cease to be a cult and become a religion? Actually, some might say there's a strange inverse phenomenon going on at the moment in politics. Toryism was a religion until Brexit when it narrowed down to become a cult. It reminds one of one of those strange ancient Roman cults where the acolytes worshipped a divine goddess and castrated themselves to show their devotion. Even to the extent of self mutilation. Which is what will happen when this country throws itself off the cliff after October 31. In the future more developed societies will read about it in their history books and express astonishment.
