Now, this may be counter to the whole ideal of chivalry thing, the one Charlemagne inspired with "fear God and maintain His Church". It may not be in lockstep with the first two commandments of the Knights Code: "I. Thou shalt believe all that the Church teaches, and shalt observe all its directions; II. Thou shalt defend the Church..."; but let's not be too hard on the poor chap – he probably mistook his knighthood as just the English version of a modern Emmy, or an Oscar, or an MTV music award, or some other Hollywood stimulated trinket of courtly self-love.
Another good for business, bad-tempered publicity stunt? Bollocks! Sir John and the Hollywood establishment are chivalrous to the bone. Just look at all the causes they support, just look at their countless charities, their unstoppable efforts at protecting the weak and the defenceless. Up with Hollywood, and down with the Church!
