But I promise you I shall not leave this world until my dream has been achieved.

English nationalism is suppressed more than any other European country.

I shall not allow my nation to fall.

You'll be welcome to visit when victory has been achieved.

A new national flag is needed though. The flag of St George is foreign to us, unbeknownst to many.

I've got it all mapped out. Don't worry.

Lmao

Okay

@Deleted User I will be honest though. Religion is a tough one for me. I was raised in a Protestant home, some of my family were non-conformists, I.e militant Puritans. Catholicism often comes across as too foreign, too superstitious in my perceptions. You know the Latin-type countries and I've met some really terrible "Catholics" especially Irish who are literally just savage dogs. I have seen how Rome have overly interfered in our affairs and made attacks against our own people in history. There is a sort of chasm between the Nordic and the Med.

But then there are other times where I must say Catholic women were more impressive to me than a lot of the whores calling themselves Prots or whatever.

However, again I see a lot of Catholicism placing too much emphasis on Aristotle and Aquinas who I think to make some very bad points. And then there is the monarchical path and I must say I'm more inclined to favour the Orthodox conciliar approach.

Super conflicted at present. @Deleted User

The protestant Irish are the same, that's nothing to do with the fact that they are Catholic

You're no idea how many LGBT Irish Catholics I have met.

Protestantism, besides going against Biblical teachings, has always had too little impact on the morality of it's populations, and serves more as an excuse than a way of life

The modern day Catholic Church has become corrupt, that is true, but that's not a fault with the Religion itself, and more the fact it was a large target for certain groups due to the influence it can have over places such as Spain

I certainly see how Protestantism has totally disregarded religion. We were simple farmers, but allowing people to interpret religion has wrought anarchy.

Mediteranians who follow Catholicism and even Eastern Orthodoxy tend to take their religion a lot more seriously, and it shows in the culture

That's why you need Papal guidance

I still think Orthodoxy may be a better path for English though.

Some of their criticisms of Roman Catholicism do appeal to me.

Having a figurehead who is closer to God, and can serve as an inspiration can only bring about good

I agree on that we need a proper priesthood. We can't be having average Joe's giving sermons.

Look at Pius XII who supported nations such as Spain in their time of need, and helped strengthen the nations faith

He called Franco "The savior of civilization"

What do you have to say then regarding England and Germany's disgruntlement with Rome, as well as their sister countries within Europe (Scandinavia, Netherlands, etc...)

Do you not believe that sometimes Popes went too far?

Depends on which ones you are talking about

I don't think the divide between Protestantism and Catholicism was the fault of the Catholics if that's what you're asking

Well by biggest resentment would be the Norman conquest. We have never actually fully recovered in restoring our ancient traditions. Protestantism of 17th century tapped into it, but went down another path.

I believe that there were errors within Medieval Europe, that Popes abused their positions. That Protestantism was stimulated by certain things such as nationalist renewal and that Catholic Church antagonised some of these notions.

Half of England wasn't even Catholic at the time

Worshipping some Celtic variation

In Norman time you mean?

Yes

England clearly had no means of control over it's own populations religion

No unification

I don't like the French, but I can agree with a unification of the peoples religion

There was some Celtic influence yes, but was predominantly Roman. Don't forget England was a heptarchy and religions conversions usually began with the kings themselves being converted.

And Alfred who unified England was Catholic.

We have our own affairs, Shade. Enlisting foreigners to attack our own people is treason.
