Rev dear Rev: I was having Afternoon Tea at the Royal Over Seas League and listening to an anglican bishop from Africa who was confidently brimming with pride that all his clergy below him are fully paid up members of the natural law and this was a badge he was wearing with glee, no gay boys and girls allowed in holy orders he and his wife stressed at length, but is there any indication from distant time about such moderne anglican schools of theology?

Generally, I must confess that I too have often enjoyed the company of anglican bishops in the Buttery Bar of the Royal Over Seas League, and I do not wish to disappoint the anglican bishop in question, but one of the earliest theology schools to be “hereticized” by the early Christian popes and Christian bishops “in sacrosancto synodu” was a certain extreme school of natural law Christianity, rather like the young African priest Fr Luciano in Zambia who formed a schism in Africa a not long ago quite recently by marrying a housekeeper and a girlfriend and leading a break away group of clergy from the local bishop and his curial officials whom he asserted to be all gay. The school of Theodotus though quickly became the school of “ Christian naturalism” and then even of “Christian naturism”, since this group of Christian clerics who followed the bishop called Theodotus Coriarium used to promote their “natural law loving” Christ and his girlfriend Maria the Magdala, forgetting he also had both kinds of friends, promoting the new naturalism chiefly by brandishing crosses with a naked Christus figure on it, totally naked at crucifixion to signal the pre-eminence and priority of the natural law over all other considerations of a pastoral love kind. So this school of theology was quickly condemned from the year 190 AD by the early Christian synods, and their crosses and crucifixes were banned as repugnant to pious and orthodox ears and eyes by the early Christian popes in persecution empires - an early end to an early schola (see Regesta, Vol I, no. 70, and also mentioned by Eusebius in his Historia Ecclesiastica, 50, 5).
