I think I could make a case that having a Monarch is pretty much outdated, however you choose to decide the line of succession.
But there's something to be said for tradition, no?
:2wave:
The Queen is the head of the Church of England, which is not even Catholic. It makes no sense to allow Catholics to be put in line for that position.
Reducing the discrimination against women in the succession process does make a lot more sense though.
The rule does not even allow one who has MARRIED a someone who follows the "papist religion" to ascend to the throne. It doesn't say anything about other Protestants or non-Christians. Only "papists".
I don't understand why this requires legislation from the outside. The royal family is still a family with its own internal politics. Why should the government tell them who can and can't marry into the line of succession? Maybe back when the royal family had some real power in the world, I would understand... but they're just figureheads now.
Because only the Parliament can amend/alter the 1701 document that put the present rules in place.
Which was under the rule of the royal family... so, in any case, it was royal family's initiative that started it. I think if they are in favour of abolishing the rule now, then they should let parliament know that they are okay with it... but the decision should not be forced down their throats. It's still their family after all.

Exactly. A catholic heading a Protestant Church? Huh?
Is the Catholic willing to convert? Why should the Church listen to someone not even of their Church?
It's ridiculous, keep the law in place until the royal family wish to remove it
