There is no legal mechanism in place for a non protestant to be PM, which would cause a "constitutional" crisis situation.

Even Tony Blair thought that catholics can't be PM of the UK.

Disraeli was born a jew, but converted to CoE at the age of 12.

The monarch can not be or marry a catholic.

What law is this?

Tony Blair and Gordon Brown wore their religions on their sleeves, as did the vast majority of the "new" Labour.  Tony Blair couldn't be Prime Minister and be catholic, because it's against UK law.  That's why he stayed in the "I'm not catholic, but I go to catholic church every Sunday and Wednesday evening with my family" closet until he left 10 Downing St.  This is why Catholic Adoptions Agency got a 7 year exemption allowing them to discriminate against gays, when everyone else had to obey the law immediately.  Ruth Kelly, a cabinet member under Blair and Brown, was/is a member of Opus Dei {of Dan Brown books fame} the ultra conservative catholic self harming lunatic group.

As for the "this isn't America" comment from a civil servant, who cares.  Brits say that all the time when they don't like something someone does.  You can't turn on the tv without something like "it's shit", "then it must be American" every 2 seconds.

Believers in the UK have so much power that they get to use taxpayer money for their exclusive schools, where they can teach young earth creationism and homophobia.  Name me a school in the US that uses tax payer money and gets away with that kind of crap.

Does the US Senate have permanent seats for the official state religion?

The last atheist European leader was gunned down in the street.  I don't remember his name, but he was the bald guy that was murdered in the street a few years ago.

"'I recall giving an address to the country at a time of crisis. I wanted to end my words with "God bless the British people".
'This caused complete consternation. Emergency meetings were convened. The system was aghast. Finally, a senior civil servant said, with utter disdain: "Really, Prime Minister, this is not America you know".'

The UK panders to the believers by giving them taxpayer money so they can have believer schools to brainwash their kids.  When they cleared the House of Lords out of the old system, the left the seats for the the Bishops and Cardinals of the Church of England.

Ummm… that's a U.S. concept only.  You live in Canada, right?  Isn't your head of state the head of a major religion?  She is referred to as "Defender of the Faith." Most, if not all, European countries have a state religion.  In northern Europe, it's Lutheran, southern Europe is Catholic, and the British Commonwealth worldwide is Anglican.

There's a vast difference between a country having a monarch who's title encompasses "Defender of the Faith" but in a largely secular society and who's role is mainly ceremonial, and a country where a political leader is openly religious, is expected to be openly religious by a large percentage of it's citizens and where their religion shapes decision making.

We've even had two heads of non-catholic religious groups run for president.  Course, they're a different church.

He says that he represents Vatican's only but it's otherwise: they only give orders to italian government and they obey, with no excuses.

If gay parties in Rome and Italy don't live well it's because of the Pope's rules on us unfortunately 

Again… I don't know about in all countries, but at least in any area that calls themselves a "civilized" society, what ever happened to "separation of church and state"?

Ummm… that's a U.S. concept only.  You live in Canada, right?  Isn't your head of state the head of a major religion?  She is referred to as "Defender of the Faith." Most, if not all, European countries have a state religion.  In northern Europe, it's Lutheran, southern Europe is Catholic, and the British Commonwealth worldwide is Anglican.

But, it's really sad, living in Rome, and feeling all that hate and anger from heterosexual people and from the Vatican only and just because I am and we are all gay.

I hope this year europen gay pride in Rome will solve matters but deep in my heart I guess it's only a mere illusion.

Especially after seeing that in Italy marriage or gay rights are still a broken dream 

What did the Romans ever do for us?  :laugh:

We provided to give you one of the best gay porn actor in Raging Stallion movies: Francesco D'Macho.

Or, were you thinking to other things? 

Roberto De Mattei, 63, a devout Roman Catholic,

Well, he is a devout roman catholic and it could not be otherwise: homosexuality is the cause of the fall of Roma Empire.

The Titanic accident was because of homosexuality, too.

And the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, too.

Gay people has those kind of power: beware!!!
