    It seems to violate Freedom of Religion. The Church of England has a muddled, bloody history.

    Interesting stuff. It may result anyway in an Arrest Warrant being issued for Mr Monson if representations on his behalf are not successful.

    He will then be in the same position as former Pope Benedict, who has to skulk within the bounds of the Vatican or be arrested.

    Monson cannot claim Immunity as a national Leader can he ? so where will he skulk ?
