Royalty

Ever since the reign of (I think) Charles II, Catholics have been barred from the throne of England. But the concerns about papal influence and religious conflict have long since vanished into history. The majority of Britons don't bother going to any church anymore. So suppose Charles or William decides to become Catholic. (Leave aside the question of how to deal with the issue of the monarch being the head of the Church of England. Assume to Archbish of Caterbury could exercise the authrity of chief prelate of the C of E if the monarch is a different faith.)

Should a Catholic still be barred from the succession or should that old rule be changed so that religion alone does not bar anyone from assuming the throne?

I figure that there are some French people who can trace their heritage to the late Queen Marie Antoinette and if you have a parliment in place and don't make it absolute, it might work.

Prince Charles seems oblivious to the damage he continues to do to his Mothers efforts to enhance the public image of Royalty
Charles wants two Coronations, The huge expensive Cathederal or Abbey Christian one and an extra Multi faith , or Islamic, one.
Is he really so thick he cannot see Islam and Christianity are incompatible and that in seeking peace and harmony without the rule of Islamic law he is making a clear statement that he is a Christian.

While you Brits pay through the nose in taxes your "royality" sits back and gives nothing back to you society. Don't you think it's time to trash that type of system and make them work for a living like everyone else?

Any suggestions how the Queen managed to put her back out as there's no 'official' excuse? Here's a few to get you started.....
- She's been wrestling with Charles over the souvereignty again
- She can't keep up with 'Phil's' vivacious appetite for transic sex.
- The corgi's jumped on her after escaping from 'Randy Andy's' sexual advances.
