Bloody Catholics. Filling the bloody
world up with bloody people they can't afford to bloody feed.

Of course, if he marries a witch of any other race, he's boned.

Cue the Monty Python reference in 3..2...1...

I don't know which I care less about- English royalty or archaic religious rules.

I thought they could marry anyone who was already related to them.

Are the writers required to use bold, italics and underline in the articles?

Shame for Prince William Catholic Girls make excellent lovers.

I'd feel cheated if I were him.

Poor Prince William, so cute but already loosing his hair. He's going to be bald pretty quick. And, though he's very handsome, he just doesn't have the face to pull baldness off. Poor thing.

FTA: "Not being able to marry the woman of your choice simply because of her religion is disgraceful and against everything this country supposedly believes in."

-Which is what, exactly?

Well, we wouldn't what happened to Emperor Leto II at the hand of the Ixians happening to him, would we?

I don't know but it isn't tolerance, otherwise Tony Blair would not have had to wait until after resigning as Prime Minister to convert to Catholicism.

1derful : Well, we wouldn't what happened to Emperor Leto II at the hand of the Ixians happening to him, would we?


Wait...Marry his sister or push him into a river, causing his body to disintegrate into it's constituent sand trout thus endowing future sand worms with the ability to adapt?

Which is it, cause it could be either one?

The Ixians didn't force him to marry his sister.

By the way, I'm totally for the Catholic rule. Have you seen the Pope recently?

Monarchy needs an update.

Uh, kinda, yeah.

Since when have royalty practiced monogamy? Sexual mores are for the bourgeois middle-classes.

How novel. Someone actually cares what that rich family does on a day to day basis. From what I understand, the Brits actually pay taxes that go to them. That's stupid.

Approves.

Thank God he can marry bald chicks.

As if Northern Ireland and Scotland needed more sectarian controversy. Your future king's marrying a pape.

/Is sad that this is an issue.
//Recommends not traveling to certain parts (all) of Glasgow or N. Ireland for.....ever.

I think he should go for the bisexual former druid priestess

Eh, it was more because of the conspiracy between the Tleilaxu, Spacing Guild, and Bene Gesserit than anything, and the newfound Atradies tradition of making sure you're not married to the person who knocks you up.

Y'know, that was the first thing I noticed, that his male pattern baldness is literally sneaking up behind him. I think he could pull off completely bald, like if he shaved it all. But the half bald look? Nah. There are very few men who can have half a head of hair and still look good.

If I every start losing my hair in droves, im just going to say fark it and take it all off.

Bring it up with Sophia of Hanover and her role in the 1701 Act of Settlement!

He can fark Catholic women so hard he'd be king of England when they pulled him out. He just can't marry them.

Yes, it may be absurd... but it's a constitutional act, and changing it requires the consent of Her Majesty's Realms (not just the UK). It's not something easy to do - it'd be like adding another amendment to the US Constitution.

It makes perfect sense. I'm not sure how universally the rules are applied, but when my sister married a Catholic, she wasn't forced to convert. She did, however, have to vow to raise any tots as Catholic. Now if this is Rome's 'compromise', then it's absolutely reasonable, isn't it? I mean, lil' Willy's kid would be Catholic and the head of the Church of England?????

No, no, no. Will not happen.

On the other hand, who gives a shiat?

America. Secular Republic. No kings. No state religion. God Bless it!!!!

Religion: is there anything it can't muck up?

Clearly, reforms are long overdue and those who uphold these outmoded laws need to be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century.

You have a king.

As things stand now, there's nothing to stop him marrying a Catholic. He just has to give up his right to be king since being head of the Church of England is part of the deal. Is this fair? Of course not, but at least he has the choice. Who said that anything to do with the concept of royalty was about fairness, logic or merit?

Just be careful which white witch you marry.

At about 1:47 into this clip of the 80's BBC Lion Witch and the Wardrobe, see some fine quality acting

It doesn't look like there's anything preventing his wife from dressing up like a Catholic schoolgirl. So it's not all bad.

Smarshmallow: Clearly, reforms are long overdue and those who uphold these outmoded laws need to be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century.

This.

Seems a bit silly to argue that these laws are outdated when the monarchy itself is a relic long in need of "reform".

/U-S-A, U-S-A

I just can't see why anyone would want to marry into that family! The loss of privacy and freedom is too high a price!

/The Catholics should be grateful!

I've heard members of the Salvation Army are also banned from marrying outside of the Salvation Army. Doing so is grounds for removal from said group.

What about a Mormon?

/got nothing

GwydeonThorn: I've heard members of the Salvation Army are also banned from marrying outside of the Salvation Army. Doing so is grounds for removal from said group.

Actually, it's worse. The Salvation SS will throw you in the camps and have you gassed for miscegenation.

Is it the rules of succession that are asinine? Or is it the whole Monarchy itself? Talk about outdated...

/because a centuries-old pissing/bigger junk contest is no tradition

Sp you're saying she has a chance?

Hot as Stevie's sweaty thighs.

So what? Who'd marry a feckin stupid feckin cathlic ahyhows?

If he can merry a Jedi warrior, then fark it, Catholics aren't that good.

Don't be ridiculous, a Jedi could never marry him. You know how they are about "forming attachments" :D

Beer, good music, and coming up with governmental and economic revolutions.

\But mostly beer

The problem does not arise from wedding someone of a different religion. The problem arises from the fact that the Monarch is the head of the Anglican Church. So even if the King or Queen is Anglican, if their spouse is Catholic, if the Monarch dies they will assume the throne. Having a Catholic become the head of the Anglican Church might cause a few schisms. Monarchies have become anachronistic, and they should be abolished, but as long as a country still wants to keep their monarchies they should abide by the rules that the monarchy has set forth. I can't imagine the rioting if the Catholics ever made a Mormon the Pope.
