A Defence of Monarchy

"A Defence of Monarchy: Catholics under a Protestant King" by Joseph Shaw offers a profound exploration of the monarchy's role as a unifying symbol of national identity and its significance within Catholic tradition. This work delves into the monarchy's place in balancing tradition with modernity, the evolution of coronation rites, and the constitutional functions of British monarchs. It critically examines the monarchy's impact on Catholic tradition and its position as a neutral entity that fosters unity, serving as a bridge between the nation and the divine. With contributions from notable figures like Sohrab Ahmari, James Bogle, and Charles Coulombe, this book presents a compelling case for the monarchy's relevance in contemporary society.
