Is the core problem with two-kingdoms theology the notion that relative peace and justice can be enjoyed by a nation without kissing the Son? What does this poem tell about separation of church and state? I’m new to thinking about such things.
Although the first problem you mention is real, my focus isn't on nations. Reality itself becomes static and directionless...heaven intrudes on earth and brings all things together...which has ramifications for life and culture.
I love the inversion of "The Hollow Men" that is used here.
Thank you.

The evil’s rather in that old pretense:
That Earth from Heavenly matters is excused.
Love it!
