Any Comments? Charles and Camilla yet Again
Quote:
The couple, who are finally tying the knot after going through a 35-year love affair and a failed marriage each, will recite the penitence at the church blessing which will immediately follow their Windsor Guildhall marriage.
In St George's Chapel, Windsor and in front of the Queen, their children, and the husband Mrs Parker Bowles cheated on with the Prince, the pair will say: "We acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness which we, from time to time, most grievously have committed."

When you consider all the scandal, lives hurt, unhappiness and problems etc that this relationship has caused over the years, it is such a shame that Charles didn't have the confidence to propose to Camilla 30+ years ago.
If that had happened she wouldn't have flounced of in a fit of pique and married Andrew Parker-Bowles, only to end up having a longstanding affair with Charles instead.
That said, I think it is right and proper that the couple do ask for forgiveness, as theirs was a very public affair I think the penitence should be just as public.
I think, Netibiza, that the Prayer of Atonement is something along these lines:-
We salute you,
Holy Mary Virgin Mother of God the Son
and entreat you to obtain for us
such yeilding of ourselves to the Blessed Spirit,
that He may, in all things,
direct and rule our hearts
and that we may never again grieve Him
in thought, word or deed.
So Lindy, if he had kept his affair well hidden he shouldn't have to apologise then?? I don't think that the fact that we all know about it should come into it at all. If he and Camilla are truly religious and believe that they should apologise to 'God' for their sins then they could do this in private.
Apologising in public is unnecessary and, in my opinion, it makes it less meaningful. Surely it is only being done to appease those who would like to cause trouble for them.
He had one constant affair with a lady he loved. His ex wife had a string of affairs and was far more public about it than he.
of the Church of England' I think it is necessary and fitting for the couple to be seen to 'seek forgiveness' for the affair which has been on such public display.
Perhaps if the affair hadn't have happened the 'string' of affairs that Diana had wouldn't have happened either. Also bear in mind, that if the reports are to be believed, HRH was seeing Camilla even while he was on his honeymoon!!
If true, it made a mockery of the marriage before it had begun.
Of course I am talking about C of E service books - and Charles is a C of E.
Why can't they be left in peace. They were not the only 'sinners' here. Diana was also an aldultress, I've no idea about Andrew P B.
I'm sure most of us are not saints either.
