The darkest corner of hell

From the London Daily Mail...

The vicar...halted the marriage of Ashley and Vicky Thorpe after their son, Cameron, began repeating his father's name.

The vicar stunned the 100-strong congregation by halting the service and announcing: 'This is a legal ceremony and I cannot proceed with that (Cameron's chattering) going on. Will somebody please take him outside?'

As the couple stood at the altar in disbelief, Mr Thorpe's grandmother protested that Cameron was not misbehaving.

But the vicar said she was 'making a scene' and ordered her to leave too.

He then told the congregation: 'If anyone else wants to make a scene, do it now', before eventually resuming the ceremony after Cameron was taken outside by an aunt....

Mrs Thorpe said Mr Cameron had already offended the family during the wedding rehearsal, when he objected to her father, Denis Robinson - who suffers from arthritis - using a walking stick to escort her up the aisle....

The couple said they were speaking out to warn others planning weddings at the church about Mr Cameron, and not to recover the £500 cost of the service.

Mrs Thorpe's uncle, Michael O'Driscoll, a funeral director, said: 'I have organised funerals at Christ Church where this vicar will not let families play any sort of music, other than hymns.

This is obviously one of those people who haven't the slightest interest in the religion he's pretending to represent. He's found a cushy job, and going through the motions. He'll also find that that's exactly the type of person God has always shown the most wrath toward. Jesus' most harsh words were toward the religious leaders of the day that failed to follow the laws the preached. The reaction to this fake "vicar" from the comments shows the results of his fraud...

And the church wonders why nobody goes anymore!

There are those that attack Christianity from outside, then there are those that attack it from the inside.
