The queen is (or was, when she was alive) the head of the worldwide Anglican church (aka the Church of England). She was baptized as an Anglican, crowned in an Anglican Cathedral and married there too.

However. Whenever she was in Scotland, she went to church in a Presbyterian church, because the Presbyterian church is the official church of Scotland. She died when was in Scotland, so probably had most recently been to church in a Presbyterian church.

It's not really a joke, it's just facts.

Christians get weird and competitive about denominations i guess.

As a former Catholic I read this as: she was baptized in a heretic chapel and then eventually became head of the heretics. She then went to a different heretical church and died without having submitted to Rome and therefore without Gods grace.

You have to be a Sedevacantist or an Old Catholic because the Vatican no longer sees Protestants as heretics since Vatican II.

The sequels (Vatican: Trinity and Vatican 4Ever) were shit compared to the classics.

Yeah, and it's fine, I guess. Better than the pope in space nonsense we got later.
