From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Catholic peers were hindered/disqualified from the House of Lords because they were forced, before taking their seats, to recite a declaration that denounced some of the Roman Church's doctrines as "superstitious and idolatrous." These provisions would not be repealed until 1829."
I have added hindered in place of disqualified because many did take the oath so weren't disqualified. Obviously others wouldn't due to their own interpretation of their faith. Alci12 18:59, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
