As a great admirer of Waugh and Brideshead, and as one who has written on the latter with some devotion, I can only hope you will, as Waugh did, pray for the Queen's return of England to its rightful Catholic roots. I promise you in return that we for our part will most happily forgive the last 500 or so years and forgo any and all claims to retributive justice. (Now, the Irish question is another matter, but for another time).

Interesting choice. One day even the Catholics will love an English gentleman as though through the eyes of Brideshead Revisited. Hee! Hee! Hee!
