Could the legalized discrimination be over?

WOW! How about this article? The United Kingdom may soon be decriminalizing the English Monarch from being a Catholic. This is fairly significant, to put it lightly.

It is unlikely that, if it were to be made law, that any monarch would convert anytime soon. Nevertheless, it would provide a significant reconciliation between the Church of England and the one holy Catholic and apostolic Church. In the unfortunate split over divorce and the sanctity of marriage many have been misled from the Catholic Faith, in spite of those who hold that Anglicanism is still a Catholic Faith - and those numbers apparently are not insignificant.

It has been said that the first of the modern heresies takes the form of "power comes from the people," which comes from the Protestant reformation mentality. As much as King Henry VIII (I am, I am...) sought to establish himself as the head of a Church, it is interesting to note that it was in fact a man trying to usurp the power of the Church.

There is a great little letter written by Pope Gelasius I called "Duo Quippe Sunt" it is, unfortunately, quite hard to find online. Nevertheless, he made clear that there Church is before the state, because while priests may bow to (i.e. serve) an earthly king, it is by obeying a priest that an earthly king bows to God, through whom he is provided salvation from sin.

Yet, poor King Henry VIII (I am, I am...) disregarded this because of the desires of his own heart - namely to divorce his wife for his mistress. While the Church did not cease to defend the dignity of Marriage, the Anglican revolutionaries rejected the Holy Father in order to form their own Church. Power was seen to be in the hands of the people to do this. BUT!... what if it wasn't? What if the English monarch had merely sought to do his own will and to reject the line of the Our Father that says "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven"? Could it be that if such was the case, then perhaps legalizing a monarch to return to the Catholic Faith could cause a great blessing upon England to return to Christ and His Catholic Church in its fullness. Perhaps, one day, a monarch could reunite to Rome? Though, as I said, this doesn't seem likely any time soon - especially if the Masonic influence is as widespread as some would have us believe within the English Royal Family, but for others this is mere conspiracy theory. Nevertheless, it is clear the modern anti-Catholic Freemasonry began in England in 1717, which was subsequently condemned first by Pope Clement XII.

Well, regardless of any of this, let us pray that this movement of maturity and allowance of the basic human Freedom of Religion be re-allowed in England. For such would be a blessing for Holy Mother Church to re-establish herself with full freedom in Great Britain. Such would be a blessing upon Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain, who would recognize the full dignity of her subjects. And, finally, it would allow the Pope to care for all those entrusted to his care in whatever role God calls them too in Great Britain. I'd say its win-win all the way around.
