Interesting issue. One imagines that those nations still loyal to the British Crown would rather see it abolished entirely, before throwing open the door to Catholics.

As a Catholic, I support this law and do not support the lawsuit. If Canada (and England) are prevented from having Protestant monarchs, then Catholic countries would likewise be prevented from having Catholic monarchs.

England is a Protestant country. Therefore it is appropriate for them to have a Protestant monarch. England must become a Catholic country once again, then the constitution should be changed, not to open the throne to Muslims, Hindus, etc., but to make the Catholic religion mandatory for the monarch.

"Religious liberty" is a concept that has proven disastrous for the Catholic faith -- although it has been equally disastrous for Protestants in formerly Protestant countries. Every faith, and every nation, should recognize the evil of religious liberty. Ultimately we want every country to be a Catholic country.

It's kind of funny that the Canadians are British subjects.

Gays have fundamental rights but Catholics do not? But the silly thing is the talk about civil war over the sucession to the British crown.

Canada allows gays to marry, but no Catholic can be on the throne?

Oh, Canada!

Democrats in the Senate have this same law preventing Papists from being Judges in America.

Surprising we're so similar to Canada.
