Trump Says ‘Israel Must Immediately Stop the Bombing’ as Hamas Caves.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Hamas has formally agreed to free its remaining Israeli hostages in response to President Donald J. Trump’s peace plan for Gaza, but with some conditions.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Donald J. Trump, Hamas, Israel.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Hamas responded to the peace plan on October 3.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Israel must immediately stop the bombing of Gaza, so that we can get the Hostages out safely and quickly! Right now, it’s far too dangerous to do that. We are already in discussions on details to be worked out. This is not about Gaza alone, this is about long sought PEACE in the Middle East.” – Donald Trump

🎯IMPACT: The announcement could signal the end of the hostilities between Israel and Hamas and the beginning of the peace process for Gaza.

IN FULL

Hamas has formally responded to President Donald J. Trump’s latest peace proposal aimed at ending the war in Gaza, saying it agrees in principle to release all remaining hostages, but only under certain conditions. The group said it is ready to begin immediate talks with mediators to finalize the details of the agreement.

The response, made public on Thursday, signals the jihadist group’s willingness to engage with the terms of the U.S. plan, which calls for a full ceasefire, the return of Israeli hostages, including the bodies of the deceased, and the exchange of around 2,000 Palestinian prisoners.

However, Hamas says that the hostage release will depend on “field conditions necessary for the exchange process,” suggesting it may not be able to meet the 72-hour deadline for releasing all hostages issued by Trump. In past discussions, Hamas has told mediators it is uncertain about the whereabouts of some hostages’ remains, which may cause delays in fulfilling that part of the deal.

The group reiterated its support for transferring authority in Gaza to an independent body of Palestinian technocrats, in line with the U.S. proposal. “As for what was included in President Trump’s proposal regarding other issues related to the future of the Gaza Strip and the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, this… will be discussed through a comprehensive Palestinian national framework, which Hamas will be part of,” the group said. However, that position appears to conflict with the Trump plan’s requirement that Hamas have no direct or indirect role in Gaza’s postwar administration.

“Based on the Statement just issued by Hamas, I believe they are ready for a lasting PEACE,” Trump responded on his Truth Social platform. “Israel must immediately stop the bombing of Gaza, so that we can get the Hostages out safely and quickly! Right now, it’s far too dangerous to do that. We are already in discussions on details to be worked out. This is not about Gaza alone, this is about long sought PEACE in the Middle East,” he stressed.

Trump’s proposal, announced earlier this week, was described by his administration as a “final offer” and was backed by Israel and several Arab governments.

Far-Left SPLC Trained Biden DOJ, Got Access to Federal ‘Hate’ Data.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) was involved in training Joe Biden-era Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutors and had exclusive access to federal hate crime data, according to documents obtained by America First Legal (AFL).

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The SPLC, DOJ prosecutors, former President Joe Biden, former Attorney General Merrick Garland, and America First Legal (AFL).

📍WHEN & WHERE: The collaboration occurred during former President Biden’s term, with specific interactions noted from 2022 to 2023.

💬KEY QUOTE:  “The SPLC long ago abandoned civil rights work and turned into a partisan smear machine.” — Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel

🎯IMPACT: FBI Director Kash Patel announced on October 3, 2025, that the FBI had cut all ties with the organization.

IN FULL

The Department of Justice (DOJ) under former President Joe Biden partnered extensively with the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), granting the leftist group access to sensitive federal hate crime data and including it in training sessions for prosecutors, according to documents obtained by America First Legal (AFL). The collaboration was part of a broader strategy by the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division to coordinate with progressive organizations on issues like election security, racial profiling, and anti-LBGT violence.

Records, including internal emails, meeting schedules, and memos, reveal that by 2022, DOJ officials were actively soliciting the SPLC for input on civil rights priorities. In an email dated October 28, 2022, former Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke wrote to SPLC President Margaret Huang, “I wanted to flag some of our work on prison conditions and other work in the Deep South for your awareness, and see if there are federal civil rights matters of concern that we should be tracking.”

A few weeks later, SPLC representatives attended a November 14, 2022, meeting with Clarke, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, and Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta, alongside other groups like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Brennan Center for Justice.

In December 2022, the SPLC was given early, embargoed access to Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) hate crime data. “I appreciated getting an embargoed copy,” wrote SPLC senior policy counsel Michael Lieberman in a December 6 email to DOJ official Robert Moossy Jr. “I just finished my draft backgrounder and talking points and would love to talk to you about the report.”

The DOJ continued to include SPLC in civil rights cases and events into at least 2023. In November of that year, SPLC research analyst R.G. Cravens addressed a DOJ hate crimes symposium attended by more than 100 prosecutors. Cravens discussed anti-LGBT movements and, according to AFL, falsely linked a lawsuit against Target to bomb threats, which the cited article itself confirmed originated from left-wing activists.

“It was a total moral failing for the Biden Department of Justice to partner with a known partisan smear factory on something as important as hate-crime enforcement,” AFL president Gene Hamilton said in a statement.

Criticism of the SPLC’s involvement in DOJ work intensified after FBI Director Kash Patel announced on October 3, 2025, that the FBI had cut all ties with the organization. “The SPLC long ago abandoned civil rights work and turned into a partisan smear machine,” Patel said.

He added that the SPLC’s “hate map” had been used to defame “mainstream Americans” and had inspired violence, potentially including the assassination of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk.

The Israeli Government Is Bringing Tommy Robinson to Jerusalem.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: British activist Tommy Robinson is set to visit Israel, hosted by Israeli government minister Amichai Chikli, following a jihadist terror attack on a synagogue in Manchester, England.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Amichai Chikli, Israel’s Minister of Diaspora and Combating Antisemitism, and Tommy Robinson.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Mid-October in Jerusalem, Israel.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Tommy is a courageous leader on the front line against radical Islam.” – Amichai Chikli

🎯IMPACT: The visit aims to strengthen bonds between Israel and allies in the fight against anti-Semitism and radical Islam, but will likely cause friction with the British state, which has long despised Robinson for his outspoken activism against Muslim grooming gangs, Islamism, and mass migration.

IN FULL

Following the Yom Kippur terrorist attack in Manchester, England, which left two Jews dead and several others injured at the hands of a Syrian immigrant, Amichai Chikli, Israel’s Minister of Diaspora and Combating Antisemitism, announced that British activist Tommy Robinson has been invited to Jerusalem. Robinson is known for his strong stance against radical Islam and grooming gangs, which has often seen him persecuted by the British authorities.

“In the wake of the horrific Manchester terrorist attack, Israel and the Jewish people stand firmly with our allies in the United Kingdom,” Chikli said in a statement posted to X (formerly Twitter), adding that “Tommy is a courageous leader on the front line against radical Islam.”

“He has proven himself a true friend of Israel and the Jewish people, unafraid to speak the truth and confront hate,” he continued, adding: “Israel will always stand with the Jewish community and our allies worldwide. Together with friends like Tommy Robinson, we will build stronger bridges of solidarity, fight terror, and defend Western civilization and our shared values.”

Robinson responded that “We will always stand with freedom and democracy with people of Israel & the Jewish population of Britain in the face of jihad & tyranny,” with Chikli replying, “God bless you – looking forward to having you with us in Jerusalem.”

Chikli emphasized the importance of this visit, stating, “Tommy is a courageous leader on the front line against radical Islam.” The visit is scheduled for mid-October in Jerusalem.

The outreach comes as Israel’s relationship with British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and his Labour Party government, which despises Robinson, is increasingly strained. The Jewish State strongly criticized Starmer’s move to recognize “Palestine” in recent weeks, and Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said following the Manchester attack, “The truth must be told: blatant and rampant antisemitic and anti-Israeli incitement, as well as calls of support for terror, have recently become a widespread phenomenon in the streets of London, in cities across Britain, and on its campuses.”

He added: “The authorities in Britain have failed to take the necessary action to curb this toxic wave of antisemitism and have effectively allowed it to persist. We expect more than words from the Starmer government. We expect and demand a change of course, effective action, and enforcement against the rampant antisemitic and anti-Israeli incitement in Britain.”

UNC Reinstates Prof Linked to Far-Left Gun Club, Threats of Political Violence.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A UNC professor was reinstated after a threat assessment regarding political violence concerns and ties to a far-left gun club.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Teaching Associate Professor Dwayne Dixon and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

📍WHEN & WHERE: October 3, 2025, at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

💬KEY QUOTE: “I will not be intimidated.” – Dwayne Dixon

🎯IMPACT: The decision to reinstate Dixon follows pressure from the ACLU and highlights ongoing debates about free speech and political violence.

IN FULL

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has reinstated Teaching Associate Professor Dwayne Dixon after a supposedly detailed threat assessment, despite concerns over ties to a far-left gun club and support for political violence. This decision has sparked controversy, with Andrew Kolvet, a friend of assassinated conservative organizer Charlie Kirk and spokesman for his Turning Point USA (TPUSA) organization, describing it as “unbelievable.”

Dean Stoyer, Vice Chancellor for Communications and Marketing at the university, claimed that the assessment found no evidence that Dixon posed a threat to the university community or breached any university policies. The reinstatement followed a threat of legal action from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of North Carolina, which argued that Dixon’s constitutional rights to free speech and association under the First Amendment were being violated by his initial suspension.

Dixon, a professor of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, is linked to Redneck Revolt, which is “an offshoot of the John Brown Gun Club,” according to the Counter Extremism Project. Fox News Digital alleges that Dixon personally “advocat[ed] for armed political action” at a 2018 panel hosted by Harvard University’s Carr-Ryan Center for Human Rights, “I’m here to smash White supremacist capitalism, not defend civil society.”

Notably, the John Brown Club—believed to be a rebranding of or spiritual successor to the John Brown Gun Club, named for 19th-century abolitionist and insurrectionist John Brown—posted flyers at Georgetown University after Charlie Kirk’s assassination, cheering the murder and inviting students to join “The only political group that celebrates when Nazis die.”

“Why is UNC employing a monster who is a member of a group celebrating political assassination?” Kolvet demanded, adding that “Dixon should be fired immediately. This is not about free speech. This is about inciting and fomenting more political violence.”

Federal Agencies Dismantle Far-Left Protest Encampment in D.C.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The National Park Service and U.S. Park Police cleared out a protest encampment outside Union Station in Washington, D.C.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The National Park Service, U.S. Park Police, the protest group FLARE (For Liberation and Resistance Everywhere), and The National Pulse Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Friday morning, outside Union Station in Washington, D.C.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The permitted event violated the terms of their permit. The permit was revoked, and the event was removed.” – Department of the Interior spokesman.

🎯IMPACT: Protestors were removed, with allegations of assault against an officer being cited as part of the reasoning.

IN FULL

On Friday morning, the National Park Service and U.S. Park Police dismantled a protest encampment outside Union Station in Washington, D.C. The encampment, run by FLARE (For Liberation and Resistance Everywhere), had been operating around the clock since May.

The protesters, who have previously harassed The National Pulse Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam and his customers at his Butterworth’s restaurant, were calling for the impeachment and removal of President Donald J. Trump, among other demands. A Department of the Interior spokesman stated that the protest breached its permit conditions, saying, “The permitted event violated the terms of their permit. The permit was revoked, and the event was removed.”

Protesters argued they were evicted partly because one member, Jake Adams, was accused of assaulting an officer. Adams denied the allegation, claiming, “I talked to the permit office yesterday and there was no forewarning of this. They were actually talking about giving us another permit. They didn’t say I wasn’t ineligible. They didn’t say I assaulted a police officer. They didn’t say there was a warrant out for me. Nothing like that.”

The Trump administration has enacted a sprawling crackdown on violent crime in Washington, D.C., over the last month. National Guard units and federal law enforcement agents have been deployed around the capital city to help deter crime, tear down homeless encampments, and assist with city beautification projects.

President Trump Could Soon Appear On $1 Coin.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The U.S. Treasury has confirmed draft designs for a $1 commemorative coin featuring President Donald J. Trump.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The U.S. Treasury and President Donald J.Trump.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Proposed for the nation’s 250th anniversary; details shared publicly via social media on Friday, October 3, 2025.

💬KEY QUOTE: “No fake news here. These first drafts honoring America’s 250th Birthday and [President Trump] are real.” – U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach

🎯IMPACT: The coin could commemorate the nation’s 250th anniversary and honor Trump’s presidency.

IN FULL

President Donald J. Trump could soon be featured on a $1 commemorative coin celebrating the United States of America’s 250th birthday. The U.S. Treasurer, Brandon Beach, revealed the proposed design on Friday in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

“No fake news here. These first drafts honoring America’s 250th Birthday and [President Trump] are real,” Beach wrote, adding: “Looking forward to sharing more soon, once the obstructionist shutdown of the United States government is over.”


The front of the coin features President Trump in profile, like other presidents appearing on U.S. currency. On the back of the coin is an engraving of Trump standing in front of an American flag, raising his fist into the air—a reference to him raising his fist after being shot in the ear by a would-be assassin during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Notably, U.S. law technically prohibits living presidents from appearing on the country’s currency. However, commemorative coins struck by the U.S. Mint are allowed to feature living presidents while also retaining their denominated value. These same rules—along with the concept of seigniorage, wherein the government can profit from the difference between a currency’s production cost and struck value—are behind the trillion-dollar platinum coin concept.

Once the government resumes full operations, further details about the coin’s release and final design are expected to be made public.

Free Soda Refills Banned Under New Health Laws.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: “Two for one” offers on junk food and some free drink refills have been banned across England.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The ban affects supermarkets, large retailers, and online vendors.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The ban came into effect in England at the start of October 2025.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Obesity robs children of the best possible start in life, sets them up for a lifetime of health problems and costs the [National Health Service] billions,” insists the Department of Health and Social Care.

🎯IMPACT: The measures aim to tackle obesity, especially in children, and include upcoming bans on advertising unhealthy foods before 9 PM on TV and online.

IN FULL

England has implemented a ban on “buy one, get one free” deals for junk food and certain free soda refills. The rule applies to grocery stores and other major retailers as well as online vendors. The regulations, which have been discussed for years, also ban free drink refill promotions for specific beverages in restaurants and cafes.

Social media users in the country have expressed disbelief at seeing signs appear on soda machines warning them that, “Based on new government laws,” they are only allowed to refill “low-sugar” soft drinks, with one asking, “Wtf is this country?”

Starting in January, advertising unhealthy food and drinks on TV before 9 PM will also be prohibited, along with all online promotions for such products. A Department of Health and Social Care spokesman called these measures a “crucial step” toward ensuring children have a healthy and happy start in life, saying, “Obesity robs children of the best possible start in life, sets them up for a lifetime of health problems and costs the [National Health Service] billions.”

The British government has created a classification system to support the advertising ban, targeting items like soda, candy, cakes, chocolates, and potato chips.

‘Blood on Your Hands’ — Deputy Prime Minister Heckled at UK Synagogue Vigil.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The United Kingdom’s Deputy Prime Minister, David Lammy, was heckled at a vigil for victims of a jihadist terror attack at a synagogue in Manchester, England.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy and Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party, and mourners.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The vigil took place in Manchester, following the attack at Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on Thursday.

💬KEY QUOTE: “You have blood on your hands,” said one heckler.

🎯IMPACT: The deadly synagogue attack has drawn intense criticism of the Labour government and its failure to curb mass migration and the growth of radical Islam.

IN FULL

David Lammy, the United Kingdom’s Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Secretary, encountered a hostile reception at a vigil held for the victims of the recent synagogue attack in Manchester. Mourners expressed their anger with the Labour government’s lack of action on mass immigration and increasing Islamic radicalism, shouting phrases such as “Shame on you,” and “You have blood on your hands,” and “Go to Palestine” at Lammy.

The vigil took place a day after the deadly attack at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue, which resulted in the deaths of Adrian Daulby, 53, and Melvin Cravitz, 66, and left three others seriously injured. The attack occurred on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, and was perpetrated by Syrian immigrant Jihad al-Shamie.

Lammy tried to emphasize a need for unity, stating, “We must stand in grief, in solidarity, and in defiance.” However, he has not previously been a unifying politician, emphasizing his black racial background, defending a comparison he made between Brexit supporters and Nazis as “[not] strong enough,” and describing the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement as a “cult of white supremacists.”

Reform Party leader Nigel Farage criticized the governing Labour Party and senior party figures such as Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood in the wake of the Manchester attack, noting that they “emboldened these people by recognizing ‘Palestine’ two weeks ago.”

“I must admit, as I speak to you today, I am more worried about the state of broken Britain than ever before,” he said.

War Sec Hegseth Reports Another Military Strike on Narco-Terrorists.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced a fifth military strike on narco-terrorists near Venezuela.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, U.S. Armed Forces, cartel smugglers.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The strike took place in waters near Venezuela on October 3.

💬KEY QUOTE: “These strikes will continue until the attacks on the American people are over!!!!” – Pete Hegseth.

🎯IMPACT: The latest strike comes amid rising tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela as the Trump administration declares war on drug cartels.

IN FULL

The U.S. military has killed four men in a strike on a vessel off the coast of Venezuela involved in drug trafficking tied to terrorist networks. In a statement posted October 3 on X, War Secretary Pete Hegseth said the targeted vessel was “affiliated with designated terrorist organizations” and was “transporting substantial amounts of narcotics headed to America to poison our people.”

Hegseth said intelligence confirmed the people on board were “narco-terrorists” operating along a known drug trafficking route. “These strikes will continue until the attacks on the American people are over!!!!” he warned.

The strike is the latest in a series of escalating military operations ordered by the Trump administration against cartel threats. So far, U.S. forces have carried out five lethal strikes on boats near Venezuelan waters.

President Donald J. Trump officially informed Congress last week that the United States is engaged in an “armed conflict” with foreign drug cartels, asserting that his administration is acting within its legal authority to eliminate threats to national security. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has strongly backed the campaign, saying of drug traffickers, “What will stop them is when you blow them up. You get rid of them.”

The Venezuelan government has condemned the strikes as a violation of its sovereignty and launched military drills in response. President Nicolás Maduro’s administration conducted a three-day naval and aerial exercise last month near the island of La Orchila, involving drones, warships, and electronic warfare units.

Maduro has also threatened to invoke emergency powers under the Venezuelan constitution and recently signed a decree granting him expanded authority over security and economic infrastructure in the event of a foreign military intervention.

The UK Synagogue Terrorist Was on Bail for Rape When He Attacked.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Jihad al-Shamie, the Syrian immigrant responsible for the Islamic terror attack on a synagogue in Manchester, England, on Thursday, was on police bail for rape when he struck.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Jihad al-Shamie, his victims, and the British authorities.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The terror attack occurred in Manchester, England, on Yom Kippur, with responding police officers shooting him dead.

💬KEY QUOTE: The terrorist’s father, Faraj Al-Shamie, stated, “May God protect Palestine and its heroic people,” following the October 7, 2023, attacks on Israel by Hamas, whom he described as “Allah’s men.”

🎯IMPACT: The attack has raised concerns over public safety and the monitoring of suspected criminals on police bail.

IN FULL

Jihad al-Shamie, the Syrian immigrant who carried out a deadly Islamic terror attack at a synagogue in Manchester, England, on Yom Kippur, was on police bail for an alleged rape when he struck.

The Syrian, granted British citizenship in 2006, caused the deaths of two Jewish men and the serious injury of three others during his attack, which involved a vehicle ramming followed by a knife rampage. Police shot al-Shamie dead at the scene, unintentionally injuring two of al-Shamie’s victims in the process, one fatally.

Reports have also revealed that al-Shamie’s father, Faraj al-Shamie, posted online praising the Hamas terror organization after their October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, which left over 1,200 dead and saw hundreds of hostages taken, including women, children, and the elderly, many of whom have subsequently been killed in Gaza. On the day of the October 7 massacre, Faraj called Hamas “Allah’s men on earth” and wrote, “May God protect Palestine and its heroic people.”

Reform Party leader Nigel Farage has lamented that the attack symbolizes “broken Britain,” noting how “Within hours of this horrific incident, we saw pro-Palestinian flags on the streets in London, Glasgow, and elsewhere, with people demonstrating in what were not planned protests… they weren’t demonstrating—they were celebrating.”

Farage also had harsh words for Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and the governing Labour Party, noting that his government “emboldened these people by recognizing ‘Palestine’ two weeks ago.”

Investigations into the Manchester attack and al-Shamie’s background are ongoing, with more details expected to emerge.

High Priestess: Church of England Names Pro-Abortion Woman as Top Archbishop.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The Church of England has selected a “pro-choice” woman to be the Archbishop of Canterbury, its most senior clerical office, for the first time.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Archbishop Sarah Mullally, the Church of England, the Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON), and Anglicans.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The announcement was made on October 3.

💬KEY QUOTE: “This appointment abandons global Anglicans, as the Church of England has chosen a leader who will further divide an already split Communion.” – GAFCON.

🎯IMPACT: The move will likely deepen the divisions in the Anglican Communion, and comes at a time when more and more young people in England are turning to Roman Catholicism.

IN FULL

The Church of England has appointed Sarah Mullally as the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury, the first woman ever to hold the Anglican church’s most senior clerical role. Mullally, 63, was known as a champion of Black Lives Matter and diversity as Bishop of London, and has previously described herself as “pro-choice” on the question of abortion.

Mullally has backed blessings for same-sex couples, pushed for greater inclusion of gender and sexual minorities, and branded the Church of England “institutionally racist” in a prior conversation with Anglican minister Calvin Robinson. “Calvin, as a white woman, I can tell you that the Church is institutionally racist,” she told the biracial conservative.

Mullally steps into the role less than a year after former Archbishop Justin Welby resigned following a child sex abuse cover-up, adding another stain to the institution’s already tarnished reputation. She is set to be officially installed in March 2026 at Canterbury Cathedral.

Her rise comes amid a broader ideological shift in the Church of England, which is widely regarded as abandoning its theological foundations in favor of woke, secular activism, using the image of Christ to promote anti-borders politics, for instance.

Last year, the Church faced backlash after St. Paul’s Cathedral, one of its most iconic institutions, even labeled wartime Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill a “white supremacist.”

The Church’s leftward drift has also been linked to falling attendance and declining public trust. A growing number of young Britons are reportedly turning to the Roman Catholic Church, seeking stability and tradition. There are now more young practicing Catholics in England than young practicing Anglicans, with Catholics expected to outnumber Anglicans in England overall in the coming years.

Mullally’s appointment has already drawn fire from the global Anglican community, particularly from leaders in Africa and Asia, where the majority of Anglicans live. The conservative GAFCON network, representing churches across the Global South, condemned the announcement, stating, “This appointment abandons global Anglicans, as the Church of England has chosen a leader who will further divide an already split Communion.”
