  • About This Blog

    SCE is a blog in "the Spirit of Benny 16". It is a place to discuss Catholic Theology, Ecumenism, Interfaith relations, History, Liturgy, Philosophy and whatever topics are hot in the ecclesiastical world!

    I view the combox as the most important feature of this site, and I imagine our commentators sharing a glass of after dinner port as we discuss in a gentlemanly/ladylike manner the issues most dear to us.

    Our motto on this blog is:

    "Maior autem his est spes"

  • The Schütz Model for a Elective Australian Constitutional Monarchy


    I propose that
    1) We replace the absentee monarch of Australia (who is also the Monarch of Great Britain) with an elected Australian monarchy.
    2) The elected monarch exactly replaces the current monarch in the current constition.
    3) The elected monarch has exactly the same powers, duties and responsibilities as those of the current absentee monarch. All the monarch's functions are carried out by his/her personal representatives (as is currently the case): federally by the Governor General, and in the states by the State Governors.
    4) The Governor General and the Governors continue to be selected and appointed as they currently are, that is, by the premier with the approval of the monarch.
    5) The monarch is elected to sovereignty over Australia for life, but his/her sovereignty is strictly non-hereditary.
    6) The elective body is the "college of electors" comprised of the state governors and federal governor general.
    7) The election of the monarch must be a unanimous decision on the part of the college of electors.

  • "The fervant Romanists have always this point in their favour: that they are ready to believe. And they have a desire for the conversion of men which is honest in exactly inverse ration to the dishonesty of the means which they employ to produce it."
