"Remember!" -
was the last word of Charles I before a strong axe blade hit his neck one cold January morning in 1649, and he drew his last breath in this world. After 20 years of tyranny and seven years of war!
Soon afterwards England became one of the first European countries to abolish its monarchy and become a Republic.
Anglicanism - always effectively a version of Catholicism - was a factor in this man's extreme belief in the so-called "Divine Right of Kings" - hardly a New Testament theme!
England should remember this episode in its history - the English Revolution - with some pride!
And as a great achievement!
It is "written out" of our national consciousness!
Cleverly one reason we aren't supposed to mention it, is the suppression of Ireland with which it is linked!
I feel this is too much of a coincidence and too convenient for those who still seem to wish to oppress us all - including the Monarchical government that still rules us!
For the Queen still rules us all. And would rule more - since Anglicanism seeks converts!
We are still her subjects and Anglicanism still holds her to have a Divine Right to maintain us as such!
