Extract

We continue to live in the remains – as opposed to the ruins – of a confessional state. Ruins may be picturesque but have no life. Remains, however, do have being. The fact that the remains exist formally only in England does not mean they have no impact elsewhere in the UK. On the contrary, they continue to have life at the very apex of the constitution.
