Let's get into it:
King Charles has determined not to deliver an Easter message this year. The Supreme Governor of the Church of England, has chosen not to mark this holiest day of the Christian calendar. Buckingham Palace confirmed that the monarch would not be acknowledging the day for what remains of the faithful in the United Kingdom, once a stronghold of Christendom. The King and his consort, Queen Camilla, went to North Wales instead.
But the thing is, a decline in faith is one thing, but it appears far more clear that Charles is embracing Islam while throwing Christianity into the Thames. Charles delivered a message to mark the Muslim holy month of Ramadan recently held an iftar meal at Windsor Castle. "Wishing all Muslims in the UK, the Commonwealth and around the world a blessed and peaceful Ramadan," a post from the official Royal Family read.
"Ladies and gentlemen, as Muslims across the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth begin preparations to celebrate Eid, after fasting for the holy month of Ramadan, I just wanted to convey my heartfelt best wishes to all who celebrate this festival. And to tell you just how much my wife and I are thinking of you at this special time of year," he said just a few years ago at the outset of Ramadan.
The issue is not so much that he's not delivering an Easter message, because Easter messages are not always delivered by the British royals. But in a year when he spent so much time honoring Islam, it is peculiar that he does not pay the same respect and honor to his own religion, or the traditional religion of the nation he leads.
Last year, Charles delivered a Maundy Thursday message, saying "On Maundy Thursday, Jesus knelt and washed the feet of many of those who would abandon Him. His humble action was a token of His love that knew no bounds or boundaries and is central to Christian belief."
The story about King Charles not honoring Easter this year went viral on social media because of how much Islam seems to have become a core religion of the United Kingdom. I think people were hoping that the head of the Anglican church might have something to say in defense of the faith. That he has not done so, while continuing to uphold traditions that have within them the desire and mission to crush Christendom, is disappointing.
