Anglicans in England and Scotland should surely rejoice that the Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI, is to visit England and Scotland from September 16th - 19th this year.
This will be a time of renewal for many Christians even though "certain elements" seem determined to protest vehemently. The agenda of such people is not based in the quest for spiritual enlightenment, but rather in seeking to silence truth in the cause of furthering their own crusade to destroy the Church and refashion society in their own image. This is, of course, nothing new; for the Church has always been persecuted, as the Gospel message of the Lord Jesus Christ has never been universally popular as it stands counter-cultural in every age.
It behoves all Christians to pray for the success of this Visit, that it will be a time of renewal for all Christians.
