I w...Thank you very much Andrew for your comments.<br /><br />I wrote this piece in June so the issue of the Scottish Cardinal has not been referenced here. I re-posted on FB in response to that as the arguments here are still valid.<br /><br />As for Charles. Henry VIII's direct line ended with Elizabeth in 1603. James I (of whom Charles is a great great Grandson claims the English throne by virtue of his Great Grandmother Margaret Tudor who was Henry's sister. http://www.britroyals.com/kings.asp?id=henry8Curiaistanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15255824974641592927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-207241140490222607.post-47420992190645129692012-08-27T11:14:07.240+01:002012-08-27T11:14:07.240+01:00Also, the statistics show that so many marriages e...Also, the statistics show that so many marriages end in divorce (including) my own....so what is SO special about the institution of marriage between a man and a woman...supposedly till death do us part...<br /><br />You make no mention of the nonsense perpetrated by the Catholic Church in Scotland whereby they have cut off talks with the Scottish Government.<br /><br />As this is likely to happen in the rest of the UK, maybe the UK Government should pre-empt that and cease discussions with the Archbishop of Westminster.<br /><br />After all, we did well without the Catholic Church under Henry VIII, so we certainly have no need of this cult, now.<br /><br />Even the Catholic Church cannot decide what their policy is on marriage. St Peter was married and then they change the rules so that the clergy cant marry. As they are fully of men who do not know what its like to be married, why the feck should they be laying down the rules on marriage?<br /><br />I certainly would trust them to babysit!<br /><br />PS - Prince Charles would presumably be a great, great x times grandson, rather than nephew....I would have thought?Andrew Lyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06771124334641985356noreply@blogger.com
