I suppose the point is to accept such things whether we like them or not. Whatever grievances one might have about the ongoing occupation of Roman Catholic places of worship (i.e. all English churches & cathedrals built prior to the reformation) by Anglicans, I doubt much good would ever come of demanding their return! Some, of course, do, but in the nigh on 500 years since the Act of Supremacy I dare say things have settled down quite peaceably.

It's interesting to note that the Anglican custodians are very keen to perpetuate certain modern myths about the various Roman Catholic symbolism found carved into the fabric of such places of worship (see thread Folklore: The Green Man) without once stopping to consider their actual significance within the theology of the people who put them there in the first place, no matter what we might think of that theology today. Even as an atheistic Marxist I find this somewhat irksome, but such, indeed, is life!

Getting back to St. George - isn't this too colonial a symbol in this context wonder? Given that Christianity is the only religion in which the dragon / serpent is equated with evil. Thus might the slaying of the dragon symbolise the subjugation of the pre-Christian faith, as might further be exemplified by the placing of churches dedicated to St. Michael (another dragon slayer!) on prominent places of pre-Christian worship, such as Glastonbury Tor. Just a thought.
