Could we have a Catholic monarch?

           Prince Charles is being accused of interfering, by pointing out that if the ancient law of inheritance is changed to allow females to inherit the crown,  it will also (by default) change it to allow the heir to marry a Catholic. It apparently is all part of the same ancient law.
           He points out that a Catholic spouse would mean Catholic offspring, a Catholic heir and then a Catholic monarch - shock horror. Prince Charles is not against it, he just feels that  there should be an open discussion in case anyone is.
        The other complication is that the monarch is also the head of the Church of England and you cannot be that and be a Catholic, so discussion is definitely needed
        However -  there is some degree of urgency. William and Kate are expecting a baby and it may be a daughter and it's birth won't wait while the different factions argue.
          I was born a Catholic and caused a stir by wanting to marry the son of a Presbyterian minister. Catholic law states that if you marry a non-catholic, you must promise to bring any children up as Catholic.
       I knew this would cause a marital / in-law crisis, so I sought advice from our wonderful local priest. He thought a minute and then asked me
        "What roughly is the dictionary definition of catholic?"
After a moment thought I answered
         "Universal"
Well  he said
       "Would you be able to take a vow promising to bring your children up in a universal faith"
I decided that I had no problem with that at all.
       Our marriage has been long and happy and our children are deep thinking individuals who each in their own way has a deep universal faith and tries to make the world a better place.
