We dissect the "historic" joint prayer between King Charles III (Defender of the Faith) and Pope Leo, questioning if this reunion between the Anglican and Catholic churches is genuine progress or pure PR. This high-level, symbolic unity is exposed as political maneuvering and a calculated business decision by institutions desperately trying to shore up market share and relevance as membership declines. We note the irony that while they discuss unity, centuries of doctrinal conflict and the issue of vast church wealth remain unaddressed.
