Monarchy derives its character from the character of the monarch.This does mesh well with a "religious right" viewpoint, as you noted. A monarch appointed by the Divine would be a definitely good monarch.To my mind, a society ruled by an unselfish monarch who cares for the interest of his subjects has a lot of advantages over a democracy where politicians with unsavory motives pit one segment of the populace against another.
