OK, I see what is animating your point of view. Much as I admire Barnhardt on a number of issues, I’m not going to get back into the Reformation wars with you. Holding QE2 to account for Henry VIII’s immorality is like the American blacks holding MAGA responsible for slavery—over the top.
Elizabeth had to play the hand she was dealt by Parliament or step down and let Charles make it even worse. I think she chose wisely.
