IgnatiusofLoyola Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) [quote name='Nihil Obstat' timestamp='1304135523' post='2234914'] I saw a highlight a little while ago. When the Archdruid said "What God has joined let no man tear apart", I thought to myself "not even Henry VIII." [/quote] The Archbishop of Canterbury is NOT a druid. Several years ago, the Archbishop of Canterburgy participated in a ceremony (that included Christian prayers) of an organization that honors those who have made contributions to the Welsh culture. Before he was Archishop of Canterbury, he was Archbishop of Wales. In the ceremony, the participants wear clothes similar to those we think Druids wore, and I believe the organization has Druid in its name. (I've forgotten the name of the organization.) But, participating in a ceremony of a cultural (not relgious) organization and wearing odd clothes is no different than a man who belongs to the Elks club and wears a funny hat. Being part of the Elks club no more makes a man an elk, than participating in this ceremony made the Archbishop of Caterbury a druid. The full content of the various articles about the ceremony made its nature clear. Edited April 30, 2011 by IgnatiusofLoyola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgnatiusofLoyola Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) I thought the service was dignified, serious, and in genuine love and fear of God. There was no silliness (at least among the participants in the service). The hats and clothing of some of the guests were something else. Some people will go to great lengths to draw attention to themselves, when the proper attention of the day was on the bride and groom--and the vows they are making before Christ. However, as usual, the Queen set an excellent example by wearing an outfit that was cheerful (to represent the happiness of the day), very modest and appropriate for a church service, with a hat that did not go "over the top" (so to speak), and was appropriate for a woman in her 80's (she did not try to dress as if she was much younger than she is). I sincerely hope that she had a talk with her grandchildren, Beatrice and Eugenie about their attire, but I fear it fell on deaf ears. And, unfortunately, I believe both young women intend to go into fashion design. Oy! I too, would have preferred that the necklines of Princess Catherine and her sister would have at least been slightly higher. However, the dresses did have sleeves. But, a big part of it to me is the intention. I don't think the intention of the the lower necklines (or at least, Princess Catherine's neckline), was to look sexy. I have seen pictures of strapless gowns on Catholic brides, and I was not offended, because it was obvious from the pictures that the brides were not intending to look overtly sexual--the brides looked beautiful and VERY serious about their sacramental vows. For better or worse, strapless gowns are in fashion right now. I find strapless gowns (or gowns with lower necklines) to be far less offensive than weddings with a lot of "silliness," that do not take the importance of the sacrament seriously. I thought Catholics would be pleased when the Archbishop of Canterbury stated that the first purpose of marriage is the "increase of mankind." And, he later stressed the importance of the couple's bringing up their children in faith and love of Christ. One of the (several?) reasons that British weddings often have very young children as bridesmaids is that they symbolically represent the children that the couple will one day have.

JulianofLdn Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 [quote name='IgnatiusofLoyola' timestamp='1304180160' post='2235044'] Camilla was never Catholic, as far as I know. Her first husband was Catholic, however. I assume they got an annulment because he remarried before she did. (Not sure--the first marriage could have been a civil service, for all I know.) Camilla is not Catholic now. She is Anglican, like her husband. The Duchess of Kent was there--I caught a brief glimpse, as well as some Catholic monarchs, including the Queen of Spain (and her son and his wife, who are also Catholic) and the King and Queen of Belgium. Prince Albert of Monaco (and his fiance) are also Catholic (or at least, he is) were there. I spotted some Catholic clergy, but couldn't identify them. [/quote] Ah, thanks for that. For some reason I believed Camilla was Catholic and that was the whole reason why she and Charles had never been allowed to marry back in the day. Serves me right for skim reading! Yes, I saw pictures of the Duchess of Kent in the papers yesterday. I don't know all the Catholic clergy, but one of them was Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster.

Lilllabettt Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Do people seriously think her neckline was immodest??? I didn't think it was even a little scandalous or inappropriate.

Lovely guy [img]http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/public/style_emoticons/default/like.gif[/img] [/quote] Two, actually three, reasons why Charles and Camilla didn't marry the first time around: --Charles is by nature a procrastinator. Camlla wanted to get married, and not wait around. In the 60's, women got married younger than than do today. --Camilla never wanted to be Queen. Actually, this is the problem most women had with Charles (besides him being a dim twit.) Even now, she hates doing public appearances, and does very few compared to the Queen or Princess Anne. --The Royal family considered Camilla too "common"--not even a title. LOL Unlike William, Charles has no backbone. (I'm sure these aren't all the reasons, but I hope help explain it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
