WillKingJamesIIBeMoved

FromTrafalgarSquare!

LoversofLondonwillrememberthe statueofKingJamesIIwhichstandsatthe leftoftheentrancetotheNationalGallery. Beyond,thetrafficandcrowdsswirlendlesslyroundTrafalgarSquare,andtothe leftoftheentranceGeorgeWashington bearstheKingcompany.

Marchsawagreatcontroversyragingthroughthe Press,andreachingdiscussionintheHouseofLords astotheremovalofthe King'sstatuetothelawn outsidetheForeignOffice, anditsreplacement,with thatofSirWalterRaleigh.

Thewarofwordshas waxedfastandfurious;the Governmentwantstheremoval,thePresidentofthe RoyalAcademy(SirCharlesWheeler),backedbythe trusteesoftheNational Galleryobjecttoitsremoval,statingthatamongst allLondon'smonumentsit isoneoftheveryfew statuesofrealartistic worth.

ThosewhojudgetheKing bytheaccountswrittenof himbyWhigandProtestanthistorianswouldbe gladofhisreplacementby thenationalnavalhero.

Othersagainwanthimto staybecause"JamesIIwas afoundingfatherofBritain'sNavywithSamuel Pepys"(Prof.ThomBodkin).

Controversybrokeoutin theHouseofLordswhenthe PailofPerth,theonly Catholicinthegovernment, roseindefenceoftheKing.

NavyFavoursJames "Iamawr"msupporter ofJamesII,"saidLord Perth,"asanancestorof minewentintoexilewith h;m."Navalmenofall ranksareinfavourofthe Kingstayingwhereheis.

TheTimesdescribedthe Kingasan"apostleofchicaneryandobscurantism."

ViscountElibanksaid: "JameswasagoodStuart King,whowasmanoeuvred offthethronebyintrigue."

ThosewhostudyanunprejudicedlifeoftheKing findthatJamesIIwasthe manwhoinadvanceofhis timeswishedtogivereligioustolerancetoall.

HughRossWilliamson, thehistorian,isoneofthe King'schampions.Hehas onoccasiondescribedthe malignmentofJamesas"a ProtestantmythinEnglish history."

Onefirmfactthatemergesfromallthechaosof wordsandwordyargumentsisthatin1734under theauthorityoftheArchbishopofParishiscanonisationcausewasopened.

Thiswasbasedonthe sanctityofhislifeinexile. Itwasonly33yearsafter hisdeath.

Manystrangecureswere attributedtohisintercession,oneofthemthatofa Frenchbishop.

WinstonChurchillinhis book,'Marlborough,"fearedthatallrecordofthis periodofJames'lifewas "Instforever."

FouryearsagoaFrench translationoftheKing's autobiography,writtenby himattherequestofCardinaldeBouillon,nephew ofamilitaryleaderunder whomJamesserved,was foundbysomeAmericans inachateauinProvence. Ithadbeensearchedfor forover270years.

TheVenerableBedetells usthat,inspiredbytheir example,theBritishKing LuciuswrotetoPopeEleutherius,about183A.D., begginghimtosendmissionaries.

Therehasneverbeena imeinthehistoryofthe Churchwhentherewasno anti-clericalism:Christ HimselfmadethedistincionbetweenMinistersin heChurch,withseparate rightsandduties,andthose owhomtheyministered.

However,therewasnot muchanti-clericalismduringthefirstthreecenturies ofpersecutionwhenthe Churchwassimplyan"outlawedsociety"ofreligious people.

Withtheconversionof the,EmperorConstantinein the4thcentury,things changed.AChristianworld order,or"Christendom," thenbecamepossible,with rulersandruledalikein variousStatesacknowledgingChristianityastheofficialreligion.

Temporalrulershadno spiritualjurisdiction.The Churchhadsupremeauthorityinmattersoffaith andmorals;andrulerswere assubjecttothatauthority asweretheirpeople.

Moreover,wheretheinterestsoffaithandmorals demandedit,theChurch hadatleastindirectauthorityinthecivilorder. Needlesstosay,themost formidableproblemsarose; andthewisestmeninevery centuryfounditdifficultto strikethebalancebetween thespiritualandtemporal, thesacredandthesecular.

Thefaultswerenotall ononeside.Churchmen bothmadehonestmistakes andwereattimesguiltyof dishonestexcesses,yielding tosecularambitions.
