The one who stripped “defender of the faith” from her Royal title? The one who will allow Muslim nobility and PMs, but not Catholics? The one who has responsibility for appointing a Druid has head of the Church of England? If the modern world is falling away from Christ, surely England is leading the retreat, and with the audacity of conquerors, not deseryers. And QE2 wields every bit of her crumbling yet massive power against those still advancing from the rear.

She didn't. It still stands. In any case, it's not in the Queen's power to alter - only Parliament could do that.

Goodness knows where you got that from. There are many Catholics in both Houses of Parliament.

The one who has responsibility for appointing a Druid has head of the Church of England?

She didn't. Rowan Williams's so-called 'druid' status was no more than a quaintly-titled literary award given by a Welsh cultural organisation in recognition of his work as a poet in the Welsh language. It has nothing whatever to do with paganism.

Three baseless myths about the Queen in three sentences. That's some achievement.

That is not true. She is still titled that way in UK, but many of the Commonwealth countries have become republics and have altered the title, but retained a form of declaration that humankind are under God.

Fidei defensor (Defender of the Faith) —see the section titled "Modern usage."

It is Prince Charles who has sought to make a "nuanced" change; but who has been criticized for it. I don't know; but I suspect this matter is not entirely up to him, since the official actions of the UK monarch are circumscribed by Parliament. Anyone else know?
