..what's the consensus about what will happen when William falls in love with a Catholic girl ?

Then I guess the government will wish it had done something about the Act of Settlement before being backed into a corner.
It beggars belief that William would have to give up his position in the line of succession if he wanted to marry a Catholic, but he could marry a Satanist with no problem (as far as that particular Act was concerned, at any rate).
If they're going to have an Established Church, they should require that he marry a member of that church, since she'd be crowned by the Archbishop in a C of E coronation. There's no reason to discriminate only against one branch of Christianity; in this day and age, when the monarch's religion doesn't affect people like it did back in the 17th century and earlier, it's an insult.
