You're almost certainly aware of the anti-capitalist protests around the world recently, and may be aware St Pauls Cathedral in London had to close for health and safety concerns. Normally I wouldn't care that much, there's even a great deal I disagree with the protesters about.
The reason I'm talking about this is that it's leader, the Reverend Knowles, made an annoying statement. He called the protesters "a lesser cause", and should show respect to their "more ancient institution". That's right, one of the Church of England's highest officials thinks the global economic problem, whether or not the protesters are exactly correct, is less important than their church services. Then justifies his point of view by saying it's older.
Ugh...
