A Definition for Anglicanism

…from A Conservative Blog for Peace.

For all that has been said about Buckley and his subversion of the conservative movement, his comments about Anglicanism (at least the official flavor) are on target:

Can anybody from the Pope to Mao Tse-Tung be absolutely sure he is not an Anglican?

    In fact, Buckley was simply quoting Auberon Waugh

    “In England, we have a curious institution called the Church of England…. Its strength has always been in the fact that on any moral or political issue it can produce such a wide divergence of opinion that nobody — from the Pope to Mao Tse-tung — can say with any confidence that he is not an Anglican. Its weaknesses are that nobody pays much attention to it and very few people attend its functions.”

    –Auberon Waugh

    Many thanks Mr. Fulford for the citation and as well for the work you do at VDARE.
