There are two churches dedicated to Charles I, does anyone know of any other churches not dedicated to Saints, and also why these churches were dedicated to Charles I?

[Peter Pedant]

Charles King and Martyr

Isnt there a proddy feast day on the day of his execution 31 Jan ?

 

This is a High Church feast - so high church that they are almost......Romish ! aaa rgh !

 

Alot of Protestants dont recognise this 'Saint'

 

For most normal protestants - canonisation stopped with the reformation.
