Editor: This is a good post on the questionable nature of our apparently legitimate republican governments and the Monarchy, of course, we're certain that Monarchy is the divinely ordained government and is also the government of England and the Catholic Church.

*Lefties And Monarchy*
'What is truth?' asked Pilate, before sacrificing Him as a King, complete with crown of thorns, under the words 'Jesus, King of the Jews'. Pilate questioned Truth, and without waiting for an answer positioned himself above it, the Roman governor with the temporal power to crucify an innocent man for the sake of a baying crowd of perjurers. Christ, crucified as King, because earthly power chose to believe in the absoluteness of only itself.
Something of a theological beginning, and for such anti-social manoeuvres I hereby apologise most wholeheartedly. Now, before I go on, I ought to say that I am absolutely not arguing that the Bible suggests one particular form of government or social ordering is any better than any other. I'm not saying it doesn't, either; more that I'm nowhere near knowledgeable enough to pronounce one way or the other.
Rather, I think that passage in the Bible speaks about power in a way that still resonates today, that in a society reconciled with relativisms the only response to the question 'What is truth?', will be one similar to Pilate's; 'whatever the powerful decide it to be.'
