The Queen could truly light a fire under a lot of bottoms if she were to make a very, very carefully worded diplomatic statement mentioning the Catholic church, the CofE, and the word “reconciliation”.
It would have about the same impact if she said that “Brussels can go bugger off.”
I think there has been a MAJOR consolidation going on:
=Blair and Gingrich convert to Catholicism
=Orthodox Church and Vatican kiss and make up
=US Lutheran church votes for either gay marriage or something on the gay agenda. Conservative Lutherans pole-axed. Reconciliation coming between conservative branch and Catholicism?
=CofE and US Episcopalian issues. Possible reconciliation?
Seems to me, in face of Islam sweeping into Europe and the US [Palestinian ‘resettlement’ approved by Congress. Going to Michigan I should think] The one religion that could hold it’s own is Catholicism. Older than Islam, largest penetration [forgive the word] globally, two thousand years of writings and theological development.
Or maybe I need another tinfoil cap?
