charles can't possibly be defender of the faith, he'd be an absolute hypocrite. He committed adultery regularly in his marriage for a start. He shouldnt be defender of faiths either. He was defender of his house and their faith and the country's under that charter. Not a multi-faith. If he wants to be king then he'll need to be stripped off that title - defender of the faith, he aint.

I think you will now be aware that indeed the august personage of Her Majesty The Queen is Fidei Denfensor, Defender of The Faith, a Papal Honour awarded originally to Henry VIII for his essay in defence of the Catholic Religion.
You are getting horribly mixed up with your argument. In the United Kingdom there is no such thing legally as "same sex marriage" therefore your argument comes to a grinding halt. If you are referring to Civil Partnerships, these are completely secular. The purpose of the civil partnership is to make the couple legal next of kin. The only condition to this legal contract is that the couple are of the same sex and not within prohibited relation. No need to be gay or to have sex! Sorry, love, I have lost the point of your question.

IMO HRH should have been defending and promoting the Faith in his homes.
But he is "NOT" "defender of the Faith". That is a title given by the Pope to King Henry VIII. The Title has been inherited by subsequent Monarchs which they accept in an oath which they take at their Coronation.
With all the changes in Britain, in Europe, etc. one can only speculate what might be at the next Coronation.

A rather academic question, as Charles does not seem to have a personal faith in God.
He himself as said that he wants to be defender of faith...which seems exceedingly wooly
No religious leader, by the way, can be compelled to perform a same sex marriage (That term, too, is a contradiction in terms)

Sorry! Prince Charles does not have the title Defender of the Faith! If he succeeded the Queen, he would have! The Queen has many tiles, one of which is Defender of the Faith! I don't know if the queen is a Christian, and that is for God to determine. Whether she practices Christianity is a good question. When Diana's body was still warm, she asked if she was wearing any Crown jewels! Where your treasure is......

The Queen is the defender of the faith at the moment. Prince Charles when he becomes king would like to be defenders of faiths (of any kind) but the archbishop of Canterbury is not happy with this.

The defender of any faith has to be above reproach & since Prince Charles has proved that he only cares about rules if they go in his favour & ignores the rest (ie, adultery), he is clearly not fit to defend anything. It will be a bad day for Britain when he becomes King. Hopefully, his mother will outlive him & William can succeed her (not that I think royalty play a very big part in our lives nowadays except to promote tourism).

The Queen is currently defender of the faith.
Prince Charles has said that he wants to be, not defender of the faith, but defender of faiths in general.
Since not all faiths oppose same sex marriages, Prince Charles should be fine in not opposing it

Indeed, the Queen is the defender of the faith. Also, is isn't so much we Anglicans who are out of line but Bible Backed Bastards in direct opposition to the will of God and the people trying to impose their version of God on the rest of us.

I am personally not a defender of any faith, I am not religious for a minute, but it is not fair or correct to force some one who believes in his or her convictions to do such a thing, if homosexuals want to be "Married" it should be done in Civil ceremony, as to ask such a thing to a priest or a religious representative is hypocritical.
