I would love nothing more than for William to marry for absolute love, and if that means marrying a catholic than so be it. I don't believe someone should change their religion to marry the person they are in love with. I'm almost 100% sure William will not marry a catholic girl unless she changes her religion. William's first duty is to his heart, that is everyone's first duty. But there is also the pressure of his second duty, the duty to his people. I had a similar conversation regarding President Bush and his christian beliefs. Now I am in no way against believing something with all your heart. I am not a religious person, I'm not denying God exists but I'm not denying that he doesn't. I pray to something, but I don't know what. I am against the gay marriage ban. My best friend is gay, and someday I hope so see him get married. I see absolutely nothing wrong with gay men and woman getting married. But apparently Bush does. He is letting his beliefs get in the way of how he runs this country. That's wrong in my opinion. In this case, the duty to his people rules out. His duty to his beliefs and to his heart are different. I would never deny Bush his beliefs, but he must think of the people in the country that he runs. The Minorities are the Majority.
William is a wonderful person, and he's very intelligent. If his belief is to not marry a Catholic, than that ties in to his duty to his heart. Because whoever he marries will be someone he hopefully loves and can see as his Queen consort. The people must in one way or another respect her. But the people must also think of William's feelings. You can't help who you love. You're not supposed too. Love knows no age, race, or religion, and it shouldn't. His heart should rule his decision of who he marries. His people should rule his decision of how he runs the country, so to speak.
Love always wins in the end.
