Lest Brexit Go Unnoticed, a Martyrology Entry: “Pridie Kalendas Februarii Luna Sexta Anno Domini 2020…”

Father Zed's contribution to Brexit Remembrance.

From Fr Z's Blog

I received this from a reader.
Pridie Kalendas Februarii Luna sexta Anno Domini 2020
Britanniae, anno LXVIII regni Elizabethae Reginae, Imperium, splendore radians, ab illo comitio diabolico scilicet, Unione Europaea, post annos dolorosos XLVII, (br)exiit.
‘In Britain, the 65th year in the reign of Elizabeth Regina, the Empire, bedecked with splendour, after 47 dolorous years, left that diabolical assembly, the European Union.’
This is what Beans tweeted today, in a fit of Euronostalgia.



Perhaps the best thing that he could do is return to Europe, there to help his fellow Europeans get over their loss.
Next… Uscitalia?

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
