It needs to fall a little more before Prince Charles will be a worthy king and defender of the faith....

We have plenty of folks that think like that in the US too. Many of them so called religious leaders.

I sure miss Cardinal O Connor.

The Church of England and Episcopalian Church in the USA have become the Church of Nothing. I have a friend who is a devout Episcopalian and not in good health - I am sure he will be thrilled to hear how little they care about him.

It was founded on Henry the VIII's ego and sense of entitlement, Henry wanted to do what Henry wanted. This latest story does not surprise me, or I would daresay, many others.

Well, I'd disagree, it was rotten at the beginning because Henry VII was a bad man and a bad king. The crimes involved in confiscating property of Catholics and banning Catholicism and executing many of those who would not renounce it taint the C of E to this day.

Why shouldn't it, it was founded for personal convienience.
