I wonder when the Church of England and the King might deign to give us back our formerly RC churches and cathedrals, now that they are mostly empty...

I certainly hope that the King makes a good confession as is understood by his Church, as God can act outside of objectively valid Sacraments.

Many of his previous statements and acts deserve confessing and the hope for absolution.

Adultery lead to the founding of the Anglican Communion and adultery is again involved in the life of the C of E.

While all the ritual can have great meaning and efficacy the external behavior and actions of a person can empty these of all meaning.

Once again, we have the C of E putting on beautiful Services, with gorgeous vestments, using ancient rites, but what is the faith behind them?

And why is a lay woman reading the Gospel at the coronation?
