I believe I have read on other threads that you happen to know Prince Charles well yourself, and that most of us, while generally having a dim personal view of him, might otherwise be favorably surprised were we to know him ourselves, as you do.
Would you care to comment on HA's posting made here?
FReegards!
What can I say?
The Prince of Wales treats Islam with respect, and some people might regard that as a mistake.
But he treats all religions with respect and Islam gets no more than any other.
In terms of his own faith, he’s a devout Christian. He seems to lean towards the Greek Orthodox faith of his father’s family rather than the Church of England which is... politically problematic given that he will be Supreme Governor of the Church of England, but doesn’t really surprise me - I left the Church of England myself for the Catholic Church because I believe the Church of England has lost its way over recent decades, and I suspect the Prince feels the same, but can never really say so.
I have the feeling that he has only really become Christian in the last twenty years at most. I don’t think he was devout as a young man, paying mere lip service to his faith, but that does seem to have changed.
His private home contains what is close to a Greek Orthodox shrine. He has visited Greek Orthodox monasteries on at least a few occasions. And he has spoken out a number of times about oppression of Christians - especially Orthodox Christians - in the Middle East. Oppression by who? For the most part by Muslims.
