Bishop affirms that Matthias Media founder Phillip Jensen is not the anti-Christ
In a recent interview on the ABC's ‘Religion Report’ program, Bishop Robert Forysth, talking about whether Sydney Anglicans officially think the Pope is the anti-Christ, stated:
Robert Forsyth: That was dropped in 1559 when Queen Elizabeth returned the Anglican church to its freedom from the Bishop of Rome and I don't think Anglicans have officially called the Pope the ‘anti-Christ’. It is however in the Westminster confession. The Presbyterians. And that's still in some places may be technically current today. Go back to that time when there's a massive fight going on. Here is a man [i.e. the Pope] that seems from some Protestant points of view, a man who claims to be Christian but seems in so many ways to be undoing the Christian faith, it's so easy to draw the link; that sounds like an anti-Christ. But I would for a moment not want to use that language. The Pope is a Catholic, not the anti-Christ.
Stephen Crittenden: And what about your Dean?
Robert Forsyth: I don't think he's an anti-Christ either. (laughs)
This testimony from the very learned and discerning Bishop Forsyth comes as a very great relief to us here. We sleep more easily knowing that Matthias Media's ‘Founder’, Dean Phillip Jensen, is not the anti-Christ.
