If the attractive, hand-painted invitation is anything to go by, the coronation will be a neo-pagan rite in which King Charles III is invested as Archdruid, Master of the Hobby-Horse and Lord of Summer Isle. That’s because the most prominent image in the intricate, joyous floral design – by heraldry artist Andrew Jamieson – is the wryly smiling face of the Green Man. This emerald visage, the standout feature in Jamieson’s elegantly swarming design, belongs to an ancient, pre-Christian divinity who can still be seen in the architecture of British medieval churches, a leafy mug among all the gargoyles.
The face of a fertility cult that existed at the margins of Christianity fits perfectly into Jamieson’s loving recreation of the playful natural imagery that is found in medieval art. In manuscripts from the era, the main text is usually religious and orthodox, while fun and fantasy are given free rein around the margins. Here, the official message of the invitation occupies a central empty square, while the Green Man and his ever-renewing natural kingdom sprawl around the edge in living colour.
Is this cheeky chappy a benign image of Charles III, the environmentalist king? https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2023/apr/05/the-coronation-invitation-review-charles-pagan-party-king

Well I was more making the inverse argument.
Many aspects of Catholism refute the papacy. I.E the fact they just changed doctrines along with the various things I listed that the papacy stands by but are just wrong.
Not sure how much you've researched @Hamza_El_Bekkal but here's a short quick video the highlights some of the simple issues with Papal infallibility (a core part of the papacy)

If you want to dig deeper Dyer has a few good videos I can send.
One thing to briefly point out all of these issues are interlinked.
Filloque, universal Juridstiction , infallibility , supremacy, Vatican 1 and 2 etc etc they're all linked into a grand picture of why there's no justification for the papacy.
Humility is the thought and conviction of our heart that we are more sinful than all men and unworthy of the mercy of God. Reviling ourselves doesn’t mean that we have true humility. True humility is when someone shames and abuses us publicly, and we endure it and say, “God ordered that brother to shame me for my many sins.”
We should receive everything as a command of God. When someone shames you, say that God commanded him to do it. When someone takes something of yours, God commanded him to take it, in order to make you a monk. When you are removed from a higher place, God changed your place so that you would change from your passions and bad habits. This is true humility.

Only thing I’m really aware of would be vigil lamps, those are something wanted by a few friends.

Clarifying my position on Christianity.
I am a friend of those who work for the good of European civilisation. This is my primary consideration, everything else is secondary.
Similarly, I do not believe a single supporter of mine cares what religion I am (Pagan, Christian, Buddhist, Atheist, etc.). For them, too, the primary consideration is my work for European civilisation.
The Pagan-Christian divide is largely an online phenomenon, and as interesting it is to discuss and debate these matters, the average person who lives in Gotham City just wants regime change – regardless of religion.
As for my own religious preferences:
Paganism > Christianity > Atheism.
Which means that I prefer Paganism to Christianity, and prefer Christianity to Atheism (unless we are talking about particularly obnoxious Christians that is).
I have good friends that are Christian. They have to endure me bantsMAXXing them by saying that Krishna is more powerful than Christ. And I have to endure them asking when I will accept Christ. This is all in good fun.
There are two issues that trigger my autism greatly, however. Thus, I will refute those by stating the following:
1. Christianity does not have a monopoly on God. Christianity is not the only "true" way of knowing God.
2. European civilisation is a lot older than Christianity. This is much easier to accept when you are red-pilled on biology (i.e. when you understand that biology creates society, and not the other way around).
Athens is more important than Jerusalem.
The European spirit that would give rise to European civilisation is truly ancient (I must study and meditate more upon the matter). How old is the Indo-European Sky-Father? I do not know, but suffice to say that these Gods have been with us for a lot longer than Christianity.
On a related note: can Christianity unify Europe? Perhaps it did at one stage, but since Europe is already split in Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox, I do not see how it would serve as a unifying factor going forward.
Perhaps a return to the Indo-European pantheon is the path forward (but this is a topic for another time).
Lastly, I always show respect to Christ, since I know he has been an important individual for many of my ancestors, and he is an important individual to many good men and women even today.
