I would like the know what source this article uses when it speaks of the property qualification being raised, and of Catholics being unable to advise the Sovereign about the appointment of bishops to the C of E. My reading of the text of the bill did not show up either of these facts. I am not necessarily doubting that these provisions were made, but not by the said Act. What statute, regulation, etc, if any, made these two rules?--Iacobus 04:38, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tony Blair

I'm uncomfortable with the wording about Tony Blair "not being a [Roman] Catholic". It's widely considered, here in the UK, that Blair is Anglican in name only, possibly for political expedience's sake. His wife and children are all Catholic (and his kids are educated at the London Oratory, a grant-maintained Roman Catholic school) and many expect that he will formally convert (from Anglo-Catholic Anglicanism) when he leaves Number 10.

But I can't think of a good way to change the current wording:

The current Prime Minister, Tony Blair, whilst married to a Catholic, is not one himself.

Whilst it's strictly true, it's misleading, imho.

Thoughts, anyone? — OwenBlacker 14:29, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

When an 'Islamic' gets to the position of Prime Minister it will be time to emigrate. 80.192.242.187 02:58, 28 January 2007 (UTC) JemmyH.
