The Canadian Press: British leaders say they favour end to law barring Catholics from the throne
Just seems like another timely distraction from Uncle Gordon really, dont think too many people are really that concerned about this at the moment, but probably now seems logical to change the law at some stage. I'm not Catholic, but why discriminate solely against them. Maybe the Catholic church are a discriminatory religion for some sectors of the community, but so too is Islam! The Male/Female rights of succession also does need to be altered, but again, assuming its not done retrospectively, it aint going to affect anything for about another 100 years, so no real rush to alter things i feel.
