The son of Carmi: Achan, the troubler of Israel, who broke faith in the matter of the devoted thing The son of Carmi (a descendant of Zimri) was Achan, who brought disaster on Israel by taking plunder that had been set apart for the LORD. That’s why Pope Francis gave the relic to King Charles, and why the King has wisely and graciously given it first place in his coronation procession.The son of Karmi: Achar, who brought trouble on Israel by violating the ban on taking devoted things. The instrument of ignominy becomes the manifestation of sacrificial love from the one who comes to serve, not be served (Matthew 20:28). For such a ruler, such a god, crucifixion was unthinkable. Kings and emperors in the great ancient civilizations - Egypt, Rome - styled themselves as gods. Duty, not glory, service not power, is the point of the coronation ritual.
It is resolved in what we now call “servant leadership,” that the good leader, the good king, is willing to sacrifice - even to lay down his life - for the good of those he leads. That apparent contradiction will now lead Charles to his coronation. Jamming it into the back of a bill that lays out schedules for transfer payments is insulting to our system of Crown-in-Parliament and responsible government. Yet given that the Crown is at the heart of our Canadian Constitution, such an alteration of the sovereign’s title deserves a standalone bill in Parliament, with MPs and senators having the right to give their views.
He will no longer be known in Canada as “Defender of the Faith,” a title first bestowed on Henry VIII by the pope and, after Henry’s breach with Rome, conferred anew by the British Parliament.Īn argument can certainly be had about the relative merits of that title - both in the 16th century and now. Meanwhile, as shabby behaviour goes, his government stuffed into its budget bill a change to the Canadian title of King Charles III. One hopes that our prime minister will manage to attend without causing a scene, as he did at the late Queen’s funeral.
