Once upon a time, they closed the theaters, enforced a narrow and stringent moralism and sported the crudest haircuts in Christendom. The Puritan Revolution led to the persecution of Catholics, Anglicans and liberal thinkers. It ushered in a distator like Cromwell and Irish babies died impaled on his soldiers bayonets in Dublin.
Yesterday in London, the rise of a new Puritanism was supported by thousands of tonsorially challenged crew cutted religious conservatives who sought to put Calvin onto the Canterbury Throne. This time, since all progressive Catholics have long since abandoned Rome,and traditionalist Romanists venerate Calvin as if he led the Council of Trent, the Papaist are all for the Second Puritan revolution.
This time the theatres are so expensive and ineffectual they don't even care...but the gay bathhouses, bars and brothels are a differnet story as the roundheads are launching reeducation camps for the hetereosexually deprived.
