Two revealing books shake church and monarchy. Our author finds how reassuring: the good old traditions of revenge and intrigue can still be relied on.
We live in turbulent times. But one thing has to be said in their defense: the millennia-old institutions of church and monarchy can still be relied on. The two twin siblings (dad: God, mom: unknown) give us stability and security. They are almost more calming than yogi tea. We can still expect flawless ceremonies from them. And we have actually been able to admire them quite extensively recently – first at the funeral ceremonies for the late Queen Elizabeth, then at those for Pope Benedict XVI.
