    So what your all really saying is that your all still afeared of us.

    I have first and second cousins in UK they ain't never going to be royals but they still are specifically singled out for special mention in your laws it's silly and shows UK to be an immature nation.

    The way I see it the Act should be scrapped and replaced with something else it is time to move on laws change. Also why having a Catholic monarch is then construed to threaten the Union mystify's me it did not seem to hamper the English beforehand so why should it be different for the British.

    Why are you upset over something that would never happen anyway?

    It is there so the sovereignty of the United Kingdom would not be compromised, hence why it could be updated with the definition I gave, which would make the likes of Furunculus happy. It wouldn't be a 'religious' prosecution.

    It would be on the same level as a woman in a burka having to expose their face for an ID check, it is a practicality, not discrimination, only in this case, it doesn't even affect anyone since there are no Catholic royals anyway.

    I am not upset I could care less but my relations are now UK citizens why are they actively singled out it's wrong.

    It is there so the sovereignty of the United Kingdom would not be compromised, hence why it could be updated with the definition I gave, which would make the likes of Furunculus happy. It wouldn't be a 'religious' prosecution.
    Last time I checked many many Heads of state were and are Catholic so as regards sovereignty goes this obviously never has caused a problem or is a problem.

    This does not explain how it is impractical to have a Catholic monarch

    Only people who are being silly and immature are those using such a stupid argument: "So what your all really saying is that your all still afeared of us." etc etc
    It is still wrong Beskar and you know it, both you and I have no love for religon but I on the other hand would never accept that a law should be made to exclude certain people.

    The main reason I oppose the Act of Settlement is the fact it is a deadly serious piece of toxic legislation that has caused much suffering in my own country.

    Even today it is a divisive and dangerous piece of faith based legalism which WILL cause more suffering especially in Northern Ireland in the future of that there is no doubt.
