The Church has its role and the State has its role as ordained by God.". That's almost the definition of , or rather a definition of "separation of Church and State".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12141280937817413536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-5288776721377576732013-08-11T21:25:45.019-05:002013-08-11T21:25:45.019-05:00I just discovered your blog and this article.

The triumph of Christianity, and its influence in shaping European culture, and its emphasis on reason eventually was pushed by others to the point where they rejected the need for the ancient faith. And it is certainly NOT a coincidence that first the monarchy went, and then the faith, in most European countries.

You could say the same about things like Confucianism which, after the fall of Imperial China, was first suppressed but is now being brought back and perverted as simply a celebration of tyranny. <br /><br />I don't know that I have done anything on the 'type' of monarchy used in the Celtic periphery but I have done articles on Scottish and Irish kings. On Wales, I am as yet too uninformed as to their story prior to being conquered by England.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-12587461128455509862012-10-20T00:23:12.387-05:002012-10-20T00:23:12.387-05:00Excellently put.

Might i also add the Islamic peoples have had a blow to monarchy when Kemal Ataturk abolished the Caliphate as part of his efforts to erase tradition and get rid of Ottoman customs. Also, the split of Christianity into Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant camps has weakened us considerably. Lastly, have you done a piece on Scottish, Irish, or Welsh monarchy? I feel these might have good examples of monarchy at it's best.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
