Essays in Idleness

Our monarch’s recent, or latest, betrayals of the Christian religion he was empowered to defend, and the royal family dawdling in his train, have left the faithful (in the broadest sense) free to ignore him. King Charles persistently calls himself, “Defender of the Faiths” — an evasion of the title a pope once conferred upon his ancestor. Defender of sophistry?

King Henry VIII turned apostate, a more consequential act even than his misrule and murders. But his successors did not quit the presentation of this title; until now, when their very claim to be Christian has been abandoned. The king’s performance at the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies made this, against the background Islamization of British society, undeniable.

It has become a wretched, inauthentic country, and far from being its extension, the peoples of the Crown Dominions have been orphaned, as we almost were by the Statute of Westminster. And Canada, that was under a king, began to evolve into a “multiculture” with no dignity at all.
