This weekend there has been much written about the potential disestablishment of the Church of England, it seems many Labour MPs are pushing for this to occur, perhaps as one of the few legacies of a Labour government in the coming years.

Sunday Telegraph - Labour MPs push for Disestablishment

Holy Smoke - Case for retaining status quo

Daniel Hannan - Conservative case for disestablishment


I subscribe to both bloggers, and on this issue personally Hannan hasn't given a particularly convincing argument for why I as a Catholic would actually favour disestablishment, I can't imagine how Anglicans would feel reading it! Isn't it good that in some way there is a Christian composition to our state, something devoid in most of the rest of Europe.

What would/should the Catholic Church's position be on this?
"An adult faith does not follow the waves of fashion and the latest novelty."
"Having a clear faith, according to the credo of the church, is often labelled as fundamentalism."
Pope Benedict XVI
