Christians Take their case to Europe

Some things remain truly incomprehensible in the madhouse that our world has become.

This week four English Christians have appealed to the human rights court in Brussels for an adjudication of their wrongful dismissal cases.

Nadia Eweida, a British airways employee, was fired for refusing to take off a necklace bearing a cross. Shirley Chaplin, a Devon nurse, was demoted to a desk job for a similar violation. Gary McFarlane, a counsellor from Bristol, was fired for refusing to counsel homosexual couples and Lillian Ladele,a registrar from London, was banished for refusing to conduct homosexual weddings.

Having lost their appeals at independent tribunals in England they now go to Europe hoping for justice.

Can we expect street protests or letter writing campaigns from outraged Christians in Britain?

Absolutely not!

Will there be a war-chest set up by the church to argue their case?

There will be nary a penny given to their aid, you can bet on it.

Having triumphed over lions in the Colosseum and survived the bloody persecution of mad emperors, the church in the 21st century will succumb to the bites of politically correct fleas. 

Jubilate.
