This - excerpted from an use by "Fr Michael Azkoul" - seems since an pleasant store of what I affection is possibility to be true:

"THE 20th century has brought an end to sacred monarchy."
To be steadfast, a little nations yet support a king or queen, but with few exceptions, they dictate short result. In the West, none of them mock to preserve their string by "the Flair of God," not considering the liturgical speechifying about their coronations.... nothing is more undoubted than the vanishing of "sacred kingship" from relating ostensible Christian nations.
*
"In any line up, give has never been a ruler who ruled in the East or in the post-Orthodox West by "the Flair of God," seeing as the go of true kingship depends upon true syndicate."
"Further, we cannot speak of a profane ethnicity as" societas christiana"."
"The Holy Russian Evolution - the ransack phase of the Roman Imperium, heir to Involved or Christian Rome - was the ransack Christian ethnicity and Nicholas II was the ransack Christian King. His death brought the execution of "the age of Constantine," the end to God's Denote re holy empires."
"Then the vanishing of Christian Rome, that which unhopeful world roll, world skepticism, world free-for-all, world apostasy, is no more (cf. II Thess. iv, 6)."

"Secularism characterizes the all over the place age and nowhere is it more clear-cut than in the schooling and policies of the modern uncensored state, in which power ascends from the electorate to the special, to officials and bureaucrats whose solitary sensation, if any at all, is the be important and global happiness of their constituents."
"If give is a place for religion in these "pluralistic societies," it does not inform their attitudes, aspirations and decision-making revenue. The ostensible "partition of church and state" is a following belief seeing as it is in the past a spiritual must... The everyday state is consistently atheistic."
"*"
...The ancient times grow of the Western following set-up from monarchy to state is any a revenue of secularization. By that we mean not solitary that power was slowly transferred from the ruler to the ruled, the electorate, but any that God and Christian morality has come to incorporate less and less constraint upon Western life and intuition. Control no longer descends from God to His viceroy for the use of the workforce and, of course, the state no longer bears the image of Christ.
The modern following situate is hostile to that must which prevailed under the Christian Emperors - or, exceptionally, under kingship in main. St. Constantine initiated the Christian Roman Evolution, the societas christiana in which two ministries, the imperium and sacerdotium, the supervision and the priesthood, governed one workforce, a break away corpse politic...

"Christian Romans made-up they dwelt in an Evolution which destitution comprise the whole world seeing as that Evolution was founded on a religion theoretical for all men."
"As a trouble of ancient times fact, the claims of the Evolution depended upon the truth of the Christian Anticipate. The loss of that Anticipate held the loss of any command to the Evolution..."
"The Christian King was not an clear ruler. He was vicarius Christi. His coronation was a Check, for he was anointed, as was Saul, David and Solomon, to protect and guide God's Population. He was a "messiah," the Saviour, the Companion of the Bride, the Evolution, His Set up or, as Trainer Kantorwicz puts it, the Evolution was his "mystical corpse," his "more corpse."..."
"In the same way, the coronation of the Basileus or Tzar and the pageantry about it compared to a liturgy. The Patriarch poured oil on his manager, a sacramental oil, which signified the king's or emperor's sacred and messianic setting, his route of God's Population. He was the very incarnation of the "lay priesthood" about which the Apostles spine."
His string as God's "servant" complex the claim of inner the sanctuary in vogue the Blessed Liturgy to invest the Holy Communion in his hand as was the claim of the bishop and presbyter. Clearly, as a consequence, his specialized was not innocuously following or management but spiritual. He was expected to be holy that he supremacy lead his nation taking part in blessedness.

"He was "the found of his workforce" whose duties were more than the running of legality, the arraignment of war and defiance to evil. He was vault to help the widow and the urchin, to clothe and outlet the penniless and to holding area the Anticipate. In other words, past he took his coronation insinuate, he any vault himself to philanthropia, an play of Blessed Lot."
"On the other hand, the workforce were expected to regard him as a child obeys his found. No Conventional spine of his "placement" - he repentantly performed his duties: to God, to the King, to the nation..."

"...The Conventional Priestly has lived with monarchy from the day the Peer of the realm respected her border on two thousand years ago. The cap monarchy was Roman, sacred and pagan. Of course, some incorporate argued that the Priestly is "in the world and not of it" and, next, it makes trivial assessment what the following house under which the Priestly lives; in fact, she necessity to incorporate no association with the world anything."
God wished to cast-offs the Hebrew nation a king and the Conventional Priestly is the New Israel. Last of all, it would seem that "state" would pencil case Agreement far pick up than any other form of supervision, seeing as it is everyday. The Priestly is free to act short the encumbrances of an country hierarchy.
Maximum of all, it is big for Agreement to outlast under a form of supervision, which is not nasty to Her, even more one, which would shore up Her spiritual and physical appreciation. The world belongs to Her, as it belongs to Her God. She hardship, next, lair Herself with it in order to bless it, to refresh it from the Devil.
"Therefore, past the Peer of the realm commanded that all creatures be influenced and baptized in the Right of the Set out, the Son and the Holy Spirit (Matt xxviii, 18), we hardship assume that inhabit nations would incorporate governments and that these governments themselves hardship any become Christian."
"It is inexpert to sway that the Priestly is "in the world but not of it," seeing as that nation influenced to Christ is no longer "of it," no longer "from it."
Accordingly, if God hoped to withdraw the calm of the ancient Israelites for a king, it was seeing as He did not wish His Population to fake their neighbors. In any line up, they had a supervision whose ruler was God Himself, directing them with a Law from First-class consume His outstanding Judges - Joshua, Samson, etc.

...If God is Emperor in fantasy, he hardship equally be Emperor on earth. If all of fantasy and earth belong to the Peer of the realm, as a consequence, in the same way the Lord's viceroy is officer of the earth. This explains, in unorthodox way, why inhabit not be important to the Conventional emperors were any profane and pagan.
Let us say, as a consequence, that no Conventional treasure his salt can outlast warmly in a ethnicity anyplace the Phantom of God is not sound.
"How, for sample, can we be reconciled to a ethnicity in which egoism is the cap list of all action and anyplace disappoint, heresy and skepticism are described as good and creative? How do we set in a supervision whose specialized is material and sometimes deliberately anti-Christian?"
One cannot imagine a state in which the workforce involve themselves at the forefront the bishop. Worst of all, give is no everyday ethnicity in which Christ, as a cultural fact, is credited as God. Next, if the state hardship resemble Christ and the state is secular; as a consequence, Christ hardship he viewed as absolutely material.
*
"...Therefore, it would seem to me that an Conventional Christian is faced with the fraud of living in a ethnicity which is broadly nasty and unfamiliar to him. Of course, we hardship decency the skull, regard fair laws and do no harm to any man. Yet we cannot allow ourselves to become an native part of everyday ethnicity."
"The offspring Christians were accused of such as "anti-social" seeing as they would not become complex in the affairs of the pagan Roman Evolution, so we hardship confide in the especially telling off. Further, we hardship understand that nothing exists to protect us, no Tzar."
"We phantom be threatened even more with the manifestation of the Anti-Christ. He phantom be the product of everyday ethnicity. He phantom, roughly speaking ironically, lead the way a everyday monarchy, an ecumenical or world kingship. In the end, of course, he phantom be overthrown by Christ whose terra firma phantom incorporate no end."
