A.:TheCoronationceremonyisclearlyareligious one.Thepresentceremony isbasedonapre-ReformationCatholicone,withEnglishbeingusedinsteadof Latin,theCommunionserviceoftheBookofCommonPrayersubstitutedfor theRomanMass,andwith variousothermodifications designedtosuppressthe "Roman"characterofthe originalservice.Theleadingpartintheceremonyis, ofcourse,takenbythe ArchbishopofCanterbury.
