King Charles III is a doofus. As a huge history buff I have noticed that all three Kings of England named Charles were awful. King Charles I was beheaded because he refused to compromise with Parliament and his word meant nothing all the while buying into the “Divine Right of Kings” bull spit, his son King Charles II was nothing more than a whore monger (fathering around 14 illegitimate children), and this current idiot is a jug eared Islamophile.

Kate et al…of more significance in the world of Anglicans is GAFCON (Global Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans).

These folks have outright rejected Canterbury’s primacy and have a fairly strong global network of bishops, churches and finances…and their influence is growing.

PS…I’m not an Anglican of any stripe, but I have lots of respect for the GAFCON ones and their evangelical adherence.

Ohhhh, I dunno . . .

Maybe Charles is positioning himself to be The Ayatollah of the Mosque of England?

That’s where the present vector’s pointing over there, anyway.

Dr Gavin Ashenden former Chaplain to the Queen astutely lays out the issue;

The King Rejects an Easter Message – and remains silent.

King Charlie is worthless indeed.

Sgt. Mom: Please see this post of mine on the subject, which discusses Philip Larkin's poem about empty churches written back in 1954, when the problem was already apparent.

It’s not that I disagree with the quoted bishop; I don’t disagree. However, he is not a bishop in the Church of England. He’s from an offshoot Anglican group called the “Confessing Anglican Church,” whose largest membership is in India. Bishop Dewar is apparently serving as a missionary bishop in the UK.

Charles and his son William are both adherents of the faith of “climate change.” This is to the detriment of their country and their subjects.

My next-younger brother, my sister and I spent the summer of 1976 touring England, Scotland and Wales on the student-charter-flight ticket, youth hostel and BritRail pass program. That is to say, using public transportation, sleeping in hostel dorms, shopping for groceries to cook our meals in the youth hostel kitchens – basically, doing everything on the cheap. Every Sunday, we would go to whatever local church was nearest; mostly because everything else would be closed. So – in England, C-of-E services, mostly in small local churches, many of them quaint and historic places … and most always just about empty. Lovely services, rich vestments and ritual, unmemorable sermons. And it it seemed to us even then, that it was all enervated, not any passionate belief or engagement. Going to church on Sunday was just a habit, going through the motions. Now, in Scotland, it was very much different with the Presbyterian services. Very spare, undecorated sanctuaries, nothing much in the way of ritual or adornment … but the pews all filled and the attendees much more engaged, honest in belief. The most rip-roaring sermon we ever heard preached was at a crowded morning service in Oban. The congregation was passionate, involved, interested in the ethical standards being explored by the minister. And this was almost five decades ago. So I’m not really surprised to read that the C-of-E is all but hollowed out. I could see it happening, even then.

He sees the way the wind is blowing so has his sails up to go there.
And obviously knows nothing of English and world history of the Muslims.
