It was my thinking that only a few hundred thousand dollars would have been involved in all of this silly pretentiousness by Her Highness. Are there not highly placed, very competent legal and historical experts who might defend their Queen, at least partially, on a pro bono basis? Millions? I am genuinely stunned.<br /><br /> And the The Reformed Reinhardt is dryly correct. I was thinking that perhaps the "poaching" remark might have been better applied to the kitchen, as in "Do you want your eggs hard poached or still a bit wiggly?"<br /><br /> And yes to Mark...the The Episcopal Church of the United States of America poaches on us almost as if it a sport to cause such misery.<br /><br />Good to be back for a bit.<br />El Gringo ViejoDavid Christian Newtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486433908063462273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-6104868665830095252013-10-08T04:30:00.237-07:002013-10-08T04:30:00.237-07:00You're missing two major points here, I'm ...You're missing two major points here, I'm afraid. First, the C&C of TEC only applies to TEC, not to "foreign prelates". So while it restricts her highness, the Presiding Bishop, (or I suppose I should say "should restrict" since she appears to pay little attention to them) it does not create similar restrictions on those others your refer to. Second, if memory serves, TEC has been "poaching" on foreign jurisdictions for years. I suppose you would consider this an example of do what I say, not what I do, eh?Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02313096840949734942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-82845048738824046712013-09-28T07:03:09.833-07:002013-09-28T07:03:09.833-07:00It was business as usual for the Sanhedrin even af...It was business as usual for the Sanhedrin even after the destruction of the Temple.
