yep the ruling monarch has no authority to choose their successor .... for William to become king, Charles would have to abdicate or die.
I don't know how the catholic church got involved in this discussion as they have as much to do with the royal uk family succession as the tooth fairy. and the easter bunny lol ....A Roman Catholic is specifically excluded from succession to the UK throne.. but in 2015 they are allowed to marry a catholic.
Interestingly the Monarch holds a title of "Defender of the Faith and Supreme Governor of the Church of England' ....Charles has said he will shorten it to "Defender or Faith" to insure all religions are respected equally.
