Catholics and the Crown



From the Times Online:
Gordon Brown today sparked controversy on the eve of the Commonwealth summit by suggesting he backs the sweeping away of 300-year-old laws that prevent Roman Catholics ascending to the Throne ...The law in question is the Act of Settlement of 1701 which was passed to prevent the return of the Catholic Stuarts.

Whatever Brown's motives, this is long overdue.
