•••••
The death of Queen Elizabeth II and the ceremonies surrounding her
funeral and the coronation of her son King Charles III, raised many
questions for the tens of millions who followed these events online.
What is the meaning and function of a monarchy and its rituals in the
modern world? And how should Catholics, in particular, view the record
of a Queen who appeared to preside over the de-Christianization of her
own country? Such are the questions this book sets out to answer. It
examines the place of the monarchy in the interplay of tradition and
modernity; the meaning and development of the coronation rites; the
constitutional and legislative roles of British monarchs; and how the
monarchy is seen in America and the rest of the English-speaking world.
Ultimately, this timely and perhaps provocative work makes the case for
the monarchy as a repository of Catholic tradition, a politically
neutral focus of unity, and the symbolic interface between the nation
and God.
