You are doing it wrong
If Her Majesty's government decides to allow Catholics to succeed to the throne, so be it. It has been clear for some time now the sovereign power resides in Parliament. If Parliament believes the Church of England is not the institution once it was who am I -- or anyone paying attention -- to disagree.
But for the love of God make the decision like men. Do not do this.
...
In a pamphlet published last week by the Local Government Association, he argued that forcing the monarch to swear to preserve the Church of England and uphold the Protestant line of succession almost certainly represented a breach of human rights.
No.
No. No. No.
You do not have a "human right" to be king; you have, if anything, a divine right. If not that, nothing. Better to argue my human rights are violated every day I am governed by the specious authority of a centuries old con game staffed of late by inbred Germans and a stray Sloan. We are quite literally paying for this farce. If Harry decides to take matters in hand, raise his standard at Oxford and put some stick about, we'll talk.* Otherwise it is time for a republic. Let Charles convert to Islam out of his own pocket and let his sons make themselves useful.
* That goes double for the Bishop of Rome. Crusade or GTFO.
