Government consider calling in army as clerical strike enters third week

The Home Secretary, David Buckett MP, said yesterday that he was considering sending in the army to deal with "essential religious services" as millions of prayers remained unanswered and confessions unheard after the clerical strike entered its third week.

The Church of England's mounting aggravation with God boiled over early in the month when the general synod unanimously supported plans for industrial action in protest at "Divine Apathy". In an unprecidented show of solidarity, one of the Roman Catholic Church's most mysterious, powerful and conservative groups, Opi Deus, fell into step with the Church of England and agreed to join the protest, receiving full support from Archbishop James Aloysius Warren, the most senior member of the Roman Catholic Church in the UK.

One bishop suggested that in the light of recent world events God's hard-line non-interventionist policy was "wholly inappropriate and out of step with twenty-first century reality."

At the beginning of the week, Archbishop Robert Runcible reiterated the Church's demands.

"Before we would even consider returning to work we want to see an end to pain and suffering in the Third World, semi-regular miracles reintroduced on a per-diocese basis, a more realisitic and open dialogue opened up between ourselves and The Almighty and lastly, and most importantly, a working party set up to investigate the continuing delays to the Second Coming, originally scheduled for 1999."

God was yesterday unavailable for comment.
