Let’s raise them Muslim!
Don’t the Anglicans have more pressing issues to attend to?
Besides, it’s not like any Catholics are close enough to impact succession drastically.
I don’t think this is a good idea. I think if you’re a catholic you just have to accept that your child will not sit on the throne of england, not at this time. Or Jewish or any other religion (besides c of e, obviously).
In fact, I think that stupid Prince Charles should just have renounced the throne and gone off with Camila, but of course, then we wouldn’t have had Prince William and he seems to be a right guy. And that Kate Middleton is really something. She may not be Catholic, but the woman must be a saint, to let her sister look that good as her maid of honor.
As far as religion is concerned, that is an individual decision, we are responsible for our own actions.
There are some historic reasons for the English to have such laws. I will not pursue that line of thought, because I hold all Monarchist in high contempt, Catholic or otherwise.
I’m sure glad they got that settled. That’s a serious problem.

This is nothing new. In a mixed marriage the Catholic spouse is obligated to insist that the children are raised Catholic but if he fails, that does not open him/her to any censure. Whoever marries into British royalty obviously has considered the many implications of such a step, including the peril to the childrens’ souls. May God be merciful in His judgment.
The noteworthy thing here is the Act of Settlement inserting itself like a ghoul at a wedding; whatever good it ever did is now void due to the evident apostasy of the Church of England which has become the laughingstock of Christendom.
Oh, yes, they are. Raising children as Catholics is one of the marital promises made in front of the priest and congregation.
England sucks like a vacuum do.
Ping worthy?
Bump for later.
>>>“Where it has not been possible for the child of a mixed marriage to be brought up as a Catholic, the Catholic parent does not fall subject to the censure of canon law,” Lord Wallace explained>>>
There’s obviously a little paraphrasing here. What it SHOULD have said is, “When the Catholic parent has been promised, as required by the Catholic church for permission of the marriage, that children of the marriage will be raised Catholic, and the promise has not been kept, the Catholic is blameless.”
SHEESH! Talk about twisting facts.
If they debate about state religion, they acknowledge the validity of same. What pathetic pukes!
h/t to verga for the ping!
