There’s only one problem. There’s no Ronald Reagan to stand up and say, “Mr. President, tear down this wall!”
Indeed, the Pope took the English people by a quiet storm called love.
May God sustain the Pope!
The Pope’s way too late - at best, he’s third in line to take possesion of Great Britain, first behind the Communists and second behind the Muslims.
Yeah, how many times is England mentioned in the Bible? I don't care how anti-Catholic you try to read the Bible, it is hard to read into it that an unmentioned Island inhabited at the time by unlettered pagan barbarians is specially blessed by God.
And did English history START with Henry VIII, the wife killer? There were no good Catholic English Kings worthy of mention before that august personage who broke with the Catholic Church over his desire for a male heir and ever younger strumpets in his bed?
The British empire died in 1945, upon the elevation of Clement Atlee and the Labour party to the government.
I can’t help but think about the many English martyrs who prayed that this day would come.
Yeah, I love talking about Henry V, wonderful King. Everyone knows him. Devout Catholic who fought to reclaim France. :)
If only he’d lived and we’d never have heard about the Tudors.
Absolutely.
But come on, it isn't as if Henry VIII was the greatest of all English Kings, and English history begins and ends with his cleaving off from the Catholic church.
The Church of England refuses to stand against the Muslims. I’m wondering if perhaps some in Britain are sensing that the last man standing against the barbarians is the Pope, and that they wish to be standing behind him. It’s just a sense that I have.
Good riddance
Actually at some point in early 1943 the US Navy overtook the Royal Navy in number of capitol ships. Max Hastings (in Winston’s War as I recall) points to that as the end of the British Empire.
Yes, pray for the Pope daily, as Our Lady Of Fatima specifically requested!
From Trafalgar to 1943, Britain ruled the waves.
An Arab couldn't believe a man would follow a Queen. He told Laurence that ‘My king has a dozen cannons, how many does your QUEEN have?’. He gave some diplomatic answer, but my answer would be....... “Half.”.
“Half of a cannon?”
“No, of all the cannons that there are in the entire World, My Queen has half of them.”
That would be a reasonable assessment at the time, of the cannons worth having at least.
I don’t know. Rome needs to start smacking down the phony liberal American Catholic Church for a start. The phony Notre Dame/Kennedy Catholics who voted for the Islamist and partial birth abortion.
However, the English people may have seen a flickering light. The majority of Brits want to emigrate because co-Islamsists B-LIAR and Browne sent the country down a path of hell. Rowan Williams chimed in with his surrender to sharia. A large silent majority of Brits do not want to go silently.
Hopefully Pope Benedict will awaken these Brits. Something happened during his visit.
To their credit, they have not elected an Islamist to rule them like TV watching idiots in another country brainwashed by TV.
Exactly, what UK Anglicans are discarding, others are not.
I do find the writer is more than overwrought as simply common sense would say there is a battle of Ideas not Might of the State as no one wishes to go back to the old way of a nice war every 50 yrs or so just to see who is who.
What has this guy been smoking? The British Empire ended decades ago!
Or was the author talking more about the Church of England and using the phrase 00 the British Empire?
Should it read
Paper on Pope’s Visit: “This was the End of the Church of England”??
