Oh, Wouldn't Henry be soooo proud!

As the media is gushing over the announcement that Prince Charles will marry his long time girl friend/lover Camilla Parker Bowles... it reminds me of two other times in history in that nation.

Henry VIII declaring himself the head of the Church of England, and divorcing or murdering his six wives.... and a more recent time in history when King Edward VIII was forced to abdicate the throne in order to marry not yet officially divorced (for the second time) Wallis Simpson.

How far we have come.

Once again, England is accepting of an adultering future King who is divorced, widowed, marrying a divorcee as Head of the Church of England, and once again, an official of that Church has given 'approval'.

Wonder if this time there will be any St Thomas More or St John Fisher, et all the others martyred by Henry VIII to speak TRUTH.
