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.
