Henry VIII and the Divine Right of Kings

I have put an essay on my other blog on the subject of Henry VIII, the Theory of the Divine Right of Kings and the beginning of the Church of England

Bishops' About to Move?

Apparently (according to the Sunday Telegraph), the Bishop of Chichester (above) and the Bishop of Fulham have declared their willingness to become Roman Catholic priests. If this is really true, and it happens, it will mark a historic turning-point in the history of Christianity in Great Britain. These two men, and particularly the first, have a substantial following amongst Anglican clergy and we could expect a reasonably large number of them to follow the bishops. Just how much this would affect lay people is far too early to say, but these are extraordinary times and we could be watching something momentous.
