Wouldnt it be great if we could do that.
But if people want to talk about it then fair enough as long as it doesnt turn into a slanging match then I dont see a problem.
My opinion is that its an act of parliment and was brought in for a reason. No Roman Catholic can suceed to the throne, that can and may one day be changed but it I dont see it happening any time soon. This is not a bigotted view I am statiing....the act was brought in to stop the monarch having any allegiances to heads of other states...which would be the case if a catholic suceeded because he would have allegiance to the pope and the church of Rome.
Is it an antquated law....maybe it is but if it was to change whereas a catholic monarch had no allegiance to the church of Rome and had allegiance to the UK and no outside authority then I dont see a problem.
But if the head of the church here did become the pope then we would have more discrimation cries from women as the church of rome discrimates against women being priests.
Catholics have the same right as Protestants...except for the throne but the monarch does not run the country, parliment does and you have the same right to a vote as I do.
