text: Though I agree with your ecumenical sentiments, I certainly would not hold up Elizabeth I as a model or prototype of Christian moral equilibrium, balance or Christ-like self-possession. Elizabeth I ordered the execution of her own cousin, Mary, Queen of Scots, thus committing regicide. (Not even Elizabeth's half sister, Mary Tudor, would do that though she had power to have Elizabeth I executed.) Elizabeth I was no better than Kim Jong un, who had his own uncle murdered and who, this past February, 2017, ordered the execution of his brother, Kim Jong nam. Maybe George Hebert is a better example or model of balance in that religious tradition, highlighting in his poetry "the One Lord, one faith and one baptism." Hebert took from the Gospel no profit for himself and certainly would never have ordered the execution of a Catholic priest for adhering to Catholic "trifles."
