Which doesn't bode well, surely given his particular views.

"Brian Tamaki says God has given him a vision of how he should run a ÔÇ£disruptÔÇØ campaign that aims to ÔÇ£break apartÔÇØ Parliament and its ÔÇ£lying politiciansÔÇØ.
Tamaki - a church leader turned co-founder of the new Freedoms NZ political party - also told followers Act Party leader David Seymour will be the campaignÔÇÖs next target, raising fears among some that the new party plans to subvert democratic norms in the run up to OctoberÔÇÖs election.
Yesterday, one of Freedoms NZÔÇÖs election candidates climbed onto a 2m-high fence to interrupt Opposition leader Chris LuxonÔÇÖs press conference.
Luxon asked the Freedoms NZ candidate to ÔÇ£be respectfulÔÇØ and talk once the presser had finished.
Prime Minister Chris Hipkins condemned the interruption as an ÔÇ£anti-democraticÔÇØ stunt that aimed to grab publicity by drowning out the ÔÇ£voice of othersÔÇØ and giving the public less chance to hear from politicians ahead of the election.
But Tamaki told church followers during a recent sermon that Freedoms NZ was exercising its ÔÇ£right to protest and speak publiclyÔÇØ.
He said heÔÇÖs ÔÇ£had insight from the spirit worldÔÇØ for his campaign and now tipped more of his party members will ÔÇ£pop upÔÇØ unannounced.
ÔÇ£This could spread right across, down the south and everywhere,ÔÇØ Tamaki said, before referencing Act leader Seymour.
ÔÇ£YouÔÇÖre next David, youÔÇÖre another one that hides the truth.ÔÇØ
That had led him to look up the Latin origins of the English word disruption, where he found it meant to ÔÇ£break apartÔÇØ.
ÔÇ£I love this word disruption, to break apart - break apart this hold they have on our Parliament where the people cannot get their voice in,ÔÇØ he told church followers.
ÔÇ£Break apart that Parliament, break apart the lying politicians, break apart the dominant party spirit that does not allow the people to have a voice or access to their own Parliament.ÔÇØ
Interesting that he's going to target David Seymour - perhaps he's none too keen on the competition.

If the McBishop was more like Jake & Elwood, he might have more success, who knows.

God does not tell people to behave badly. I wish She did, give me quite a few outs...
Btw, one of his lot made it across the harbour this morning and was loudly haranguing the waiting ferry passengers. Stupid man. This seat is so blue it's icy...

Oooh...I wonder if you could train her indoors to give that lot a not so gentle nibble? 
They'd never see an attack cat coming...

If God is at hand with his party, he is doing a pretty bad job.

God occasionally messaged via lightning bolts, apparently she never got a reply though. Given his claims about seeing the light and personal communication with her upstairs, can we look forward to a tiny area of intense, brief, local global warming?

Oh, if only.
That would definitely set the cat amongst the pigeons if his nibs had his toes toasted by a lightning bolt.

I don't suppose there's much point in praying for one to strike the McBishop, publicly would be excellent....

that would be vexing for the Bish - it would prove his point that God was speaking to him, but God disapproved..

The Anointed Brylcreem Boy, His Oiliness Bish Bruin Tomato, master of all that love him, Guardian of the Collection Plate, Defender of the Tithes.  If his flock are His Children, what does that make them?  No need to ask what his voters are, it's pretty obvious (even if not quite polite).
If Minhinick had dreamed him up the editor would have requested something a little more realistic for tomorrow's cartoon.
