no humorist


The Anglican Church is falling apart. British freedom might be next.

This reminds me of a prophetic statement by American historians Will and Ariel Durant in their 1968 book The Lessons of History:

"(...) just as the defeat of the Moslems at Tours (732) kept France and Spain from replacing the Bible with the Koran, so the superior organization, discipline, morality, fidelity and fertility of Catholics may cancel the Protestant Reformation and the French Enlightenment. There is no humorist like history".
