  • Pinto said he tried to get a photo with Trump when he appeared, but that Trump’s appearance was brief.

    “He gave his speech and then immediately left. I wrote ‘Can I get picture?’ on my phone screen using Snapchat text like people do at concerts, and I know that he read it as he looked at me several times during his speech. I was at the front of the line. He didn’t even stay to personally hand the watches to the top four people that paid eight figures to get that rank.”

    This is the part that I love lol. They paid all this money to “have dinner with Trump” and he gives a speech and bolts. They don’t even meet the guy!














  • So, Anglican theologians like John Keble and John Henry Newman (who later converted to Roman Catholicism) built off of a notion advanced by the 16th Century Anglican Divines that viewed Anglican Christianity as a distinct branch that developed alongside Roman Catholicism and Orthodoxy. Things like the Synod of Whitby are cited as evidence that the Roman church worked hard to bring this distinct form of the church inline with Roman polity and practices (in some views Celtic Christianity is viewed as being part of this wider “English” branch of the faith). This resulted in a long-standing tenuous relationship with English Christianity and the Catholicism of continental Europe (reflected in things like the Sarum rite, etc.). So when the Reformation happened, this gave the opportunity for English Christianity to pick up where they left off and live into that distinct mode of being.

    Given this, according to branch theory proponents, there would be Anglicans in the 900s. They were just put under the veil of Roman Christianity at the time.
