Off with their heads
Article 37 of the 39 Articles of Religion is quite clear.
"The King's Majesty hath the chief power in this Realm of England, and other his Dominions, unto whom the chief Government of all Estates of this Realm, whether they be Ecclesiastical or Civil, in all causes doth appertain, and is not, nor ought to be, subject to any foreign Jurisdiction".
The Thirty - nine Articles of Religion were drawn up by the church in convocation in 1563
Subscription to them by the clergy was ordered by act of Parliament in 1571. The Subscription (Thirty-Nine Articles) Act (1571), 13 Elizabeth, Cap. 12
The 39 Articles can be found in the Book of Common Prayer, which has not been repealed and are part of the British constitution through the Act of Settlement 1701 and the Act of Union with Scotland 1707
Clergy of the Church of England are still required to acknowledge that the Articles are "agreeable to the Word of God," CANON C15 OF THE DECLARATION OF ASSENT
However, what is more important, it is not only the Archbishop of Canterbury that should be worried about the implication of article 37. This Labour Government, which is forcing the European Union Lisbon Treaty upon us, are equally guilty by subjecting us to a foreign Jurisdiction.
Who will rid us of this troublesome Government.
