Actually, I think the fact that Lady Di is dead clears it in the eyes of the church. I know that's why the Catholic Church allowed my aunt to get married in the church. Her first husband died and they didn't count the husbands after him. History shows us that most of the monarch would be hard put to be "Defenders of the Faith" considering their indiscretions. If it's so terrible for the US to have a gay bishop, then it's also terrible that he and Camilla have been lovers for so long. Personally I think Charles should be skipped entirely and Will designated the heir.
