Comments on: The Hands of the King http://catholicism.org/ad-rem-no-108.html An online journal edited by the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Richmond N.H.

However there is nothing permanent in this world but change and hence as we go ahead a time will come where we will look back and borrow from the old systems of governance. A king/ruler should be the one who doesnot consider himself above the motherland he serves, that his 1st priority is the welfare of the people and everything else comes next. I donot have much knowledge about history but whatever I have said has come from my heart.Thanks I agree with you on the statement that monarchy is best suited for men as it allows the state/country/region to function as a whole unit.

A friend better versed in Moreno's life and legacy gently pointed out to me that the great Ecuadoran has not been raised to that rank. I apologize for misleading anyone.

I read John's excellent piece and enjoyed it very much. It's highly recommended. I believe it was in John Zmirak's New-York accent that I first heard sung the glories of Monarchy, specifically, that of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. I'm glad to know that he'll similarly be indoctrinating generations of Thomas More students! Our IHM School is sending one of our graduates there next year. I hope he gets the "royal treatment."

Because nobody wants to serve. In a Monarchy politicians serve the people by being loyal to the Monarch. Loyalty has become a mere word. Swearing allegiance to the Monarch means nothing these days. Politicians take the Oath and turn around undermining the Monarchy. That's the case in Australia and I am sure elsewhere as well. “Why is it we have so few real statesmen today?”
