 The way things are going, Britain will become an Islamic Rrepublic sooner rather than later, with ayatollahs ruling and living in the palace.

I sowed confusion nicely by leaving the II off my Charles.
"Chopping" instead of leaving would have been funnier.

5,075,907 people in Australia are Roman Catholic.

According to the 2021 Australian Census, the Catholic population was 5,075,907 people, representing about 19.9% of the overall population of Australia.

--

King Charles needs to make peace with the Roman Catholics, and England needs to join on the team with the Roman Catholics, and he needs to give Northern Ireland to Ireland. And of course every nation can benefit from building more schools, and libraries, and from training new Teachers. Pope Francis is a nice man for King Charles to make PEACE with.

Salute,

Tony V.

Can't see Protestants joining the Roman Catholic team anytime soon.
A Pope, not that long ago in time, said [with full authority of the Vatican];

"If it isn't Roman Catholic then it's not a proper church".

The statement...[newspaper wrote "Pope tells Christians"]...took a swipe at Orthodox churches and non-Roman Catholic churches as being "defective".
They were all outraged...and rightly so.

Northern Ireland...British, inhabited by Protestant 'Loyalists' and Roman Catholics.
The Queen, God rest her soul, said that Britain was leaving it up to the people of Northern Ireland to decide what they want to be...Britain or [neutral] Ireland.
Same with the Falkland Islands...Britain or Argentina.

The loyalists in Northern Ireland sing their songs;

The Battle of The Boyne - Ulster Loyalist Song [Youtube]

"Come don your sash and bowler black and join the great parade
We're on our way to celebrate 1688
And better still and more's the thrill just two years further on
When William Prince of Orange won the Battle of The Boyne."

*
Then ...enter that flag: I must sing it too...as China and its red flag circles. Indigenous have their own flag, so the other Australian flag belongs to 'me'.

Our Union Jack - Ulster Loyalist Song

"Have Britons lost the courage of the glorious days of yore?
Have they lost the valiant spirit which their doughty fathers bore?
They always travelled forward, shall we go tamely back?
Shall we look on while the traitors they destroy our Union Jack?"

*

Britain today is arguably America's closest/greatest ally.
It is not the 17th Century you fool.

It is to many in Northern Ireland, and elsewhere.

Martin Luther was excommunicated from the Roman Catholic church on Jan 3, 1521.

Oh but it is.
Lutheranism is still alive....and

Five hundred years ago, on Oct. 31, 1517, the small-town monk Martin Luther marched up to the castle church in Wittenberg and nailed his 95 Theses to the door, thus lighting the flame of the Reformation -  the split between the Catholic and Protestant churches.
Luther's act is taught as one of the cornerstones of world history, and remains a lasting symbol of resistance five centuries later.

That would be religious vilification.
Thought you were against that.
Our doctor is Irish, as is his wife. Youngish, children aged about 9, 10, 12.
He said: "I have a mixed marriage". Turns out he is Orange and she is Green.

There is a distinction between a sane Irish Protestant and an Orangist. A united Ireland, out from under the British yoke, will welcome and benefit from those of all faiths.

The British Irish folk in Northern Ireland now...clearly disagree with you.
As do the the folk living in the British owned Falkland Islands.
