Dr Williams has failed to defend Christianity.

Isn’t the British Monarch the defender of the faith???

What is the position of the Royals???

The title “Defender of the Faith” was given to Henry VIII by...the then POPE, after Henry wrote a defense of the Papacy against an attack from a fellow monarch. This was before the, uhm, Papal refusal to allow Henry to divorce his first wife, and Henry’s susbsequent schism from the Church.

Always found it amusing that the ruler of Great Britain still uses the title.

I believe QEII must consult with her public relations advisors before giving any statement about the second highest ranking official in the realm’s proposal to import fundamentalist islamic law.

Good thing for Rowan the Fuzzy that the Crown of St. Edward is being worn by a Windsor and not a Tudor. Would we care to speculate what would happen if Henry II or Oliver Cromwell were still around?
