Do you believe in antidisestablishmentarianism? As a "papist" (the word used in the applicable laws), I am barred from sitting on the British throne. If the disestablishmentarians had succeeded and the Queen had given up her power as the head of the Church of England, Catholics would no longer be discriminated against as a matter of British law. Odd, isn't it, that there has been so much talk about Blair's legislation outlawing "the incitment of religous hatred," yet the British still celebrate Guy Fawkes Day and we papists are still barred from the throne. Do you believe in antidisestablishmentarian? I don't.
