England can't go Catholic. The Romans have been separate from them since the Schism of Lourdes in 1573 and that was about their holy right to come to church with wet hair!...Which they've since abolished.

I don't see why this is an issue. After all, they made this guy king once:

As if furries weren't bad enough, now you want to encourage them to dress up like royalty?

Yes cuz there's sooooo much difference between the Catholic & English church!

Next thing you know, we'll have a Catholic Queen with eyes of an eagle, reflexes of a cobra, muscles of a gorilla, and hung like a donkey.

Well, I did say "Queen" ;)

Royalty can't be Catholic? Really? Is there an official royal religion or something, or other banned sects?

Could the Queen become a Satanist?

abigsmurf 2009-03-27 12:15:27 PM  
The UK won't have a catholic king any time soon.

Being the head of the Church of England kinda makes it impossible to perform his duties if he was catholic. What will change is being able to marry a catholic wife.

This article is just coming about because the queen met with the PM to discuss more modernisation of succession laws/rules.

just pre-empting.

You aren't a real monarch unless you can yell "Off with their heads!" and have it actually happen.

The French and the Russians had the right idea about what to do with their royalty.

HRH is the Supreme Governor of the Church of England, so, no. And I doubt there's anything other specifically band for royal consorts since the entire point of the Church of England is that it's not the Catholic Church.

FTA:Monarchs and members of their family in the order of succession have been banned from marrying Roman Catholics since the Glorious Revolution of 1688, when the Catholic James II was overthrown in favour of the Protestant William of Orange.

No time to RTFA...Do they also include Gilgameth Catholics?

That's it. If an accident of birth doesn't believe in the correct invisible sky wizard, we might as well do away with royalty.

 
mbillips 2009-03-27 12:21:15 PM  
Meh. We know what to do with Catholic rulers of England. Depose them and either cut their heads off in favor of a non-papist, or just go get a nice new Protestant from Holland.

Some quite hittable members of the Dutch royal family out there, y'know. Say hello to Princess Maxima

HM. HRH is Prince Charles and the other princes/princesses of the royal family.

The monarch must be a Protestant at the time of accession, and enter into communion with the Church of England after accession.[2]

Not in the present form of the laws. I honestly don't think the Catholic situation in regards to the monarchy will change anytime soon. I could see England adopting the absolute primogeniture, allowing for succession to happen in birth order regardless of gender. Sweden did it in the 1980's and it wouldn't change the first 4 in line anyways.

 
Lt_Aurum 2009-03-27 12:24:59 PM  
Asinine tag is for the fact England still has a state supported royal class, right?

Can a Catholic be King of England? Does the Pope shiat in the woods? Apparently.

Anyone who's more familiar with the laws, does not being British have any affect on it? There are members of royal houses from all over Europe on the succession list, why would America be any different?

Great, thanks a lot, so the Glorious Revolution was all for nothing? So my highland ancestors got Enclosure Acts and Glencoe massacres and were scattered to the four corners of the colonies all for no reason?

Or if the British had any sense whatsoever they would enter the 21st century and dismantle the monarchy; how many citizens actually think having a king or a queen, who actually posses no power of government, is a good idea. Just send them off to live in their castles and open a museum. That's where they all belong anyway. Or are your precious trash tabloids too important to you?
