Just curious, are British monarchs still ordained and blessed by Anglican priests at their coronations?

Answer 1

In a sense they are ordained...to the person above me an ordained Priest And an ordained King ( Queen) are entirley different with disreguard to them being choosen by all Mighty God. When a sovereign is ordained it refers to " The Divine Right Of Kings." The Divine Right of Kings is a European political and religious doctrine of political absolutism. Such doctrines are largely, though not exclusively, associated with the medieval and ancien régime eras. It states that a monarch owes his rule to the will of God, and not necessarily to the will of his subjects, the aristocracy or any other competing authority. This doctrine shows that any attempt to depose a monarch or to restrict his powers runs contrary to the will of God.

Its symbolism remains in the coronations of the British monarchs, in which they are anointed with Holy oils by the Archbishop of Canterbury, thereby ordaining them to monarchy. It is further evidenced by efforts to trace the genealogy of European monarchs to King David of the Old Testament, with the belief that it legitimizes the rule of the present monarch. The king or queen of the United Kingdom is the last monarch still to undergo such a ceremony, which in other countries has been replaced by an inauguration or another declaration. It is the reason why the British Royal Family's motto is Dieu Et Mon Droit (God and my [birth] Right - i.e. I rule with God's blessing).

Another example of this is at the End of the Opening of the Parliament Ceremony, Her majesty Exclaims, " May The Blessing of Almighty God Rest on Our Council." When The Queen uses "our, us or we" she is using majestic plural, which refers to her and the crown. which is also an in reference to the The divine right of kings
I hope this helps!!

Answer 2

The Anglican Church of Canada does do this. besides the undeniable fact that there are a team of bigots right here who think of they're Anglican Church of Canada even even with the undeniable fact that they are relatively Anglican Church of South Africa contributors.

Answer 3

They are not ordained, they do not become priests, but the Archbishop of Canterbury consecrates the monarch with holy oil. English monarchs have always been consecrated as have most European kings and queens of all religions.

Answer 4
