Although it’s highly unlikely the Princess Royal’s son would ever sit on the throne, it’s yet to be officially confirmed that he will renounce his place in the line of succession upon his May 17th marriage.

Peter is currently eleventh in line to the throne.

This debate is especially close to the heart of Princess Michael of Kent, whose husband – the Queen’s first cousin – was forced to renounce his right to the throne when he married the Catholic Marie Christine in 1978.

In comments which ignited yet further debate about an issue which was highlighted over a decade ago by the then deputy-leader of the Conservative Party, Jeffery Archer, Princess Michael said in 2004: "By statute, no member of the family may marry or 'have to do' with a Catholic - that means business negotations, I think".

Referring to the 1701 Act of Settlement which excludes anyone who marries into the Catholic faith from becoming monarch, the princess continued: "It doesn't mention any other religion. If Prince William produced a lovely Muslim girl, there wouldn't be a problem."

Clarifying her comments which came during an interview with the Toronto Star newspaper, Princess Michael swiftly added: "Legally, legally, there wouldn't be a problem."

As previously documented here, in July 2007, a senior Cardinal asked Prime Minister Gordon Brown to scrap the law which bars a member of the royal family marrying a Catholic whilst still retaining their place in the line of succession.

Cardinal Keith O’Brien's comments came just months after the Act of Settlement was debated in the House of Commons.

I don't see the PRACTICE of "Freedom of Conscience," "Freedom of Speech," "Freedom of Association," and "Freedom of the Press" as PREJUDICES.

Do you? Actually, these are ANATHEMA --forbidden-- in the Council of Trent documents that every Pope must agree to.

Lots of Protestants have never been taught our history against Tyrannical regimes backed by the belief that "the final authority on all matters moral and ethical is the Pope."

So, I'm not surprised that you object,Anyacat, because the ideological grounding for tyranny is not well-publicized.

anyacat, they still have the Knights of Malta, the Jesuits and Jesuit General, Opus Dei, Knights of Columbus and the Italian Mafia in their pockets.

They still support regimes that anathematize freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of conscience.

Nothing has changed; the beat goes on.

Remember, the epistles of Paul refer to secrets and secrecy; whereas Jesus said, "You shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall set you free."

The Council of Trent (1545-1563) was the Roman Catholic's response to the Protestant Reformation. Long gone are the days when any religion, much less the Roman Catholics, had the kind of military power needed to achieve world domination (indeed the Church has lost political power in Italy where the majority of people claim to be Roman Catholics). This kind of anti-Catholic thinking is more in keeping with the second coming of the KKK in the United States in the early 20th Century. On the other hand, long held discriminatory beliefs are difficult to combat with meager weapons such as common sense and perspective.

It will be the end of representative government, and the re-start of top-down, hierarchical, dictatorial government, BY DEFINITION. Woe is us. This is tyranny's ticket to ride. EEWC
