Oh

Bishop Sarah of London has been presiding over services at the Ukrainian Catholic Church there to mark the 3rd Anniversary of the SMO in Ukraine, very nice, she led the public prayers for peace and reconciliation. There was also a nice concert in town too with lots of Ukrainian young people singing some set pieces too. Bishop of Newcastle has also been in the news calling for some changes to official policy of the said Church. All go. Lots going on. Anglican churches are now a gaggle or corpus feministarum for the Ukrainians but the young people are not complaining.

Acer Doctors

Whatever people feel about the current state of play in the country of the UK, the learned doctors of York and Canterbury, the second one vacant, still remain in praxi autem the Fathers in God to the king and to the prime minister, and this was true even when we had a Buddhist prime minister and a Hindu prime minister, something Lord Hailsham once explained. The two bishops are Fathers in God to the monarch and his family too, and should be consulted on some major serious issues of state, such as the ratification of treaties, like the Chagos Islands, since that was a function of those figures in times past, when the empire was pagan and pluralistic, where the college of priest-judges or pontiffs was responsible for ratifying such treaties and also for the final decision of the Senate to go to war against even minor adversaries. Minor adversaries too.
