I was rather disappointed by this parody (link).
The issue of whether Wilkins has erred on the issue of election and whether his local presbytery has not properly applied church discipline on the issue, are both serious issues.
While making Monty Python jokes may be all in good fun, the topic is a serious one, and this blogger would exhort Wilson to take the matter more seriously.
Charges of heresy are serious charges, as are charges that a presbytery has failed to address heresy in its midst. Comparing the matter to the ridiculous - or suggesting that the charges are an attempt to change reality - may please Wilkins' supporters, and may amuse those who are unfamiliar with the issues, but such a comparison is fundamentally inappropriate in this situation.
Wilkins, his presbytery, and his supporters need to take the matter seriously. A better response would be a simple statement from Wilkins (and/or Wilson) negating each of the alleged positions.

In response to the anonymous comment, while we do believe that one can be saved with incorrect doctrinal views, presbyters are held to a higher standard.

Incidentally, one reader asked my denominational affiliation. I don't give that out through the blog, as part of my anonymity.
