King Charles has betrayed his Protestant coronation oath by worshipping with the Pope, denying the finality of Christ's sacrifice through the Catholic Mass. The special papal title and permanent throne bearing his coat of arms signal a dangerous reversal of the Reformation. Charles should abdicate rather than continue this dishonest abandonment of his sacred Protestant vows.
