The Restoration of Monarchy etc.

Over at Albion Awakening, John Fitzgerald blogs on the nature of Monarchy and the possibilities of its restoration, musing on the mythic hopes for a The Sleeping King:

And a correspondent notices that the best time for a spiritual awakening may be coming in about 12 weeks...

Have you seen this argument before by John Knox against Queens?

I do not recall if I have made this argument before but a little refresher.

Biblically Monarchy appears to be a male institution and women seemed not in any way were allowed to have Authority over men.

@John
That is a different question, I think. But Christian societies have always had women in authority over men, in many situations - so far as I know.

On the other hand, I adhere to the Mormon understanding that women and men are not interchangeable, and are metaphysically different from eternity - and there is no such thing as a generic 'human being'.

How this works out in social rules is a secondary matter - but we should never expect 'symmetry' when it comes to the sexes.
