If you read nothing else at First Things this month, read Joseph Pearce’s piece on the true kings of England (and one rather entertaining pretender) where he refers to the “Inglorious Revolution.”  Here is a sample:

Thereafter, the Jacobites tried in vain to restore the true king to the throne, but as “King” Anthony rightly laments, we’ve had a dynasty of German usurpers on the throne ever since. It might indeed be the sad truth that the English are destined to wait until Doomsday for the Return of the King, but it is at least consoling to know that several of the true kings in exile are now buried in St. Peter’s in Rome. If the English monarchy is really dead and buried, then what better resting place than in the company of the saints and martyrs.
