Envy, in my mind, is the most lethal of the deadly sins. Envy is the fuel of communism, socialism, transgenderism, wokism in every one of its manifestations. Anyone provoked to hatred by the unassailable Kate is done so by pure envy.
"Envy is the worst sin that can be. Any other sin is only opposed to one special virtue, but Envy is against all virtues and all goodness. For it is sorry for all the goodness of one's neighbor, making it different from all other sins. There is scarcely any sin that doesn't have within it some delight, but Envy has within it only anguish and sorrow."
No one is unassailable, especially those in the oligarch set. Kate is a perfect stranger to us. Questioning motives and proposing this could be a trick is not hatred or envy, it is learning from recent history.
There is a huge distinction between questioning authority and bad-mouthing individuals. Not to understand that is an immense ignorance - or something, perhaps, envy-fueled.
Your prediction in today’s letter is a real downer and unfortunately it may become fact substantially before your timeline. We see what is happening here in America where I live and the disastrous policies of the current government administration. Your description of HRH Catherine the Princess of Wales is totally accurate and my wife and three daughters are praying for her prompt recovery. Thank you for your efforts in giving an accurate portrayal of life in today’s England.
The late, great Islamic scholar Bernard Lewis projected that Western Europe would be all-Muslim by the end of this century and he made that back in the late '80's before the mass invasion by Muslims and Africans. You are much accurate in your estimates of what is coming but is already happening. His Royal Highness will have these problems by the time he ascends the throne.
I do wish HRH only the best and God-speed in her recovery, and safety to her family.
For the historically ignorant among you, Elizabeth Woodville was the grandmother of Henry VIII, great-grandmother of Elizabeth I, and thus arguably the ur-Queen of British civilisation. And thus again the woman to whom we owe in large measure the English Renaissance--the very civilisation we're daily watching be murdered.
And if the tale of Elizabeth waiting under a tree to ambush Edward is indeed true, or even if it isn't, I'm surprised Hollywood hasn't run with it. :-) Culminating, of course, twenty years later with the murder (or not?) of her sons.
The politicians that ran England in the 1960's-1990's should have managed immigration better back when they had a chance to. But they had no long term vision of where things were headed. In the future England may be a very inhospitable place for indigenous whites to live.. Even though it is their own ancestral homeland. Quite sad.
It came out a few years ago in the daily telegraph that Blair and his cronies wanted to rub the tories noses in diversity. A good case for tar and feathers if I ever saw one.
1500 years ago, waves of barbarians, the cancers of the times, finished off the Roman Empire--and now a new wave of barbarism is sweeping the West. As Peachy suggests, Europe likely won't survive the barbarity, and I have my doubts about America, though our barbarians are of a different sort than theirs.
Sic transit gloria mundi. (Has there ever been a pair of parents named Mundy who had the whimsy to name a daughter Gloria? I'd like to think so.)
It took the Roman Empire several hundred years to die in agony (about as long, at least subjectively, as it takes to read Gibbon's account of that event...), so I think we're okay for the moment. But, OTOH, things happen faster now. I expect I'll be dead before the coming crunch, but I worry about my kids.
In regard to the pro-Gaza protests, I have been wondering if there’s shock and perhaps some envy on the part of Europeans on both sides of the Atlantic who are dismayed by the collective action displayed by these Muslims and their lefty allies marching around London.
Collective action is pretty rare among Europeans who are just floating around in their individualistic bubbles. Unlikely to see Christians of any denomination as coordinated as these Muslims who busing protestors into London every weekend.
Just a thought about how disorganized and disjointed we are in defending our own turf.
Thats because they are funded by George Soros who has unlimited resources when it comes to the destruction of our current western civilization. He spent billions setting up the BLM riots in the US and is no doubt behind the current 'invasion' of Europe, UK, Ireland, US and other western democracies. The man is directly related to Satan.
George Soros is such a convenient scapegoat. It doesn’t matter if he’s the one bankrolling the protests.
What matters is the lack of a robust response from our own Catholic or Protestant billionaires who would never spend Soros-level sums of money to promote a culture of life (marriage, family life, care for the elderly) or a culture of erudition (funding good art, film and media).
The modern European or American just doesn’t do collective action unlike those from other cultures.
Best future job windmill technician. How are we going to keep them running. I liked this one, I ve been taking a break from Social Media. Keep up the great work.
LOS ANGELES — Meghan Markle announced this morning that she would be releasing a new show on Netflix to reveal the terrible difficulties she has faced dealing with Kate Middleton's cancer diagnosis.

Is envy possible without pride? Maybe Pride is the underlying 'enabling' sin like Courage allows for all virtues to manifest?
Agree that all the nonsense you identify have envy as prime motivator. Vengeance and envy.

So true! Check out this book: Resentment Against Achievement, by Robert Schaeffer.

Speaking poorly of others, especially when it is just fabricated speculation, without good reason is a sin. Royalty is not a good reason.

Good grief, a sin to question authority?! I thought that was one of the things PK’s column was about.
Maybe it is you committing a sin against the First Commandment by deifying a mortal human.
One can question authority without detraction.
Envy is also the fuel of democracy. As Toqueville noted, the American experiment was not so much about "liberty," as about "equality."
Obsession with "equality" is nothing but envy at bottom. It has been this way since Adam.
Yes. Exactly. Nicely stated
This should be taught in school. Without education of the masses as to the danger of ENVY we could end up with a deteriorating society. Oh wait——-

How did all of those Muslims get there?
Who allowed them in? Who is preventing their removal?
How did this happen and who is responsible?
Ghadaffi said to Obama: if you get rid of me, whole Europe will turn black. And they did get rid of him. It’s called the Kalergi plan.
And who appoints a Muslim leader in Scotland where there hardly are any? Will the Monarchy be saved if it’s Queen Meghan on the Throne? 🤔
Oh, this is so sad to read, but spot on.

And thus again the woman to whom we owe in large measure the English Renaissance--the very civilisation we're daily watching be murdered.
Indeed, the Eve of the royal line, one could say. And a lowborn noble!

Cool, thanks. The books were great but I hadn't known the Beeb had migrated them to the telly.

Lionel Shriver's _The Mandibles_ is much shorter than Gibbon, but at least as illustrative.
Me too.
Wonder if she was vaxxed
Cancers are running wild amongst the 15-44 year old vaccinated cohort. I strongly suspect that is the cause of Kate’s new diagnosis.
Sadly, she was. And she promoted the vax too.
3 of them have it all round the same time...
But not Andrew! Weird.
Sure. Yet anyway
Have always loved Kate as well , beautifully class . So very sad , her voice has fear . Let us pray . Thanks Peachy .

It’s a post Christian Era. We lived on the fumes for decades
This has been the sentiment I've been trying to tell indigenous people in Canada.
"Do you honestly think a bunch of foreigners are going to care about the treaties that your people signed with the people of Canada?"
Just think about it.
I guess I was too old for the original Neverending Story - I'd rate it as a 6/10 - but I agree that the remake will suck.

Oh, Bee, you never disappoint!
Not just the UK but the West seems suicidal.
Well, those in power are suicidal . . . to be exact, they are suiciding their countries.
Most of the people oppose the suiciding but they are rubes and bigots, you know.
