I have written about this a couple of times before but it is nice to have a man of God, all be it a BBC luvvy,  supporting my views.

His point on how the C of E maintained regulatory alignment with the Church of Rome after the reformation is a good one  An episcopal church with its deferential hierarchy is much easier for the establishment to control. The political problems arise when senior church persons actually believe in God.

We could push the history a bit further after Henry VIII came the protestant believer Edward VI and then the catholic reactionary and bloodthirsty zealot Mary Tudor. Eventually they got their Mrs May appeaser Elizabeth I.who could never rest easy until the heir recognised by Europe, Mary Stuart  was dead. Similarly we are going to have to eventually exterminate the EU before we can be sure of our Brexit.
