As for Rowan, he seems to be doing a good job of being a worse arch-bish than his predecessor, much like Pope Ratty is doing for the Catholics.

would we be able to pick and chose depending on what we think may have the most favourable outcomes?

If I get into a spot of bother with the law, I will insist that I can only be tried under the supreme laws of the Flying Teapot as I fundamentally refuse to accept British law over Teapotism.

Davids, this might interest you. Sir Charles Napier, of 'Peccavi' fame, comes to mind. I copy and paste the following from Wikipedia, "A story for which Napier is famous involves a delegation of Hindu locals approaching him and complaining about prohibition of Sati, often referred to at the time as suttee, by British authorities. This was the custom of burning widows alive on the funeral pyres of their husbands. The exact wording of his response varies somewhat in different reports, but the following version captures its essence: "You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."" H. Davids, this might interest you.
